What passion cannot music raise and quell!
All delays are dangerous in war.
Never was patriot yet, but was a fool.
Honor is but an empty bubble.
Good sense and good nature are never separated; and good nature is the product of right reason.
What judgment I had increases rather than diminishes; and thoughts, such as they are, come crowding in so fast upon me, that my only difficulty is to choose or reject; to run them into verse or to give them the other harmony of prose.
