A poet must need be before his own age, to be even with posterity

To have greatly dreamed precludes low ends.

Better one bite at forty, of truths bitter rind, than the hot wine that gushed from the vintage of twenty.

The eye is the notebook of the poet.

A man is old when he can pass an apple orchard and not remember the stomachache.

It is only by instigation of the wrongs of men that what are called the Rights of Man become turbulent and dangerous.

I don't believe in princerple, But oh I du in interest.
