Heroic poetry has ever been esteemed the greatest work of human nature.
No government has ever been, or can ever be, wherein time-servers and blockheads will not be uppermost.
God never made his work for man to mend.
Either be wholly slaves or wholly free.
A happy genius is the gift of nature.
Happy the man, and happy he alone, he who can call today his own; he who, secure within, can say, tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.
