Reason to rule, mercy to forgive: The first is law, the last prerogative. Life is an adventure in forgiveness.
Time glides with undiscover'd haste; The future but a length behind the past.
If passion rules, how weak does reason prove!
Fortune's unjust; she ruins oft the brave, and him who should be victor, makes the slave.
But love's a malady without a cure.
Thou tyrant, tyrant Jealousy, Thou tyrant of the mind!
