Where there are many beauties in a poem I shall not cavil at a few faults proceeding either from negligence or from the imperfection of our nature.
Rule your mind or it will rule you.
As shines the moon amid the lesser fires.
God has joined the innocent with the guilty.
The impartial earth opens alike for the child of the pauper and the king.
Frugality is one thing, avarice another.
