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 sweet to let the mind unbend on occasion.
The mountains are in labour, the birth will be an absurd little mouse.
If things look badly to-day they may look better tomorrow.
Be prepared to go mad with fixed rule and method.
You may suppress natural propensities by force, but they will be certain to re-appear.
