Nothing to build, and all things to destroy.
Whatever is, is in its causes just.
I strongly wish for what I faintly hope; like the daydreams of melancholy men, I think and think in things impossible, yet love to wander in that golden maze.
Pleasure never comes sincere to man; but lent by heaven upon hard usury.
Good Heaven, whose darling attribute we find is boundless grace, and mercy to mankind, abhors the cruel.
Time glides with undiscover'd haste; The future but a length behind the past.
