The glorious lamp of heaven, the radiant sun, Is Nature's eye.
Good Heaven, whose darling attribute we find is boundless grace, and mercy to mankind, abhors the cruel.
Let grace and goodness be the principal loadstone of thy affections.
Courage from hearts and not from numbers grows.
It is a madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because in herself she is nothing, can rule nothing, but is ruled by prudence.
What passion cannot music raise and quell!
