An infatuated man is not only foolish, but wild.
There is no mind so weak and powerless as not to have its inclinations, and none so guarded as to be without its prepossessions.
In idle wishes, fools supinely stay. Be there a will and wisdom finds a way.
Life's bloomy flush was lost.
A sly old fish, too cunning for the hook.
To show the world what long experience gains, requires not courage, though it calls for pains; but at life's outset to inform mankind is a bold effort of a valiant mind.
