Why then should words challenge Eternity, When greatest men, and greatest actions die? Use may revive the obsoletest words, And banish those that now are most in vogue; Use is the judge, the law, and rule of speech.
It is difficult to administer properly what belongs to all in common.
It is sweet to let the mind unbend on occasion.
While fools shun one set of faults they run into the opposite one.
Ridicule more often settles things more thoroughly and better than acrimony.
My age, my inclinations, are no longer what they were.
