The moderns cannot reach their beauties, but can avoid their imperfections.
There is not a more pleasante exercise of the mind than gratitude.
Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth.
Colors speak all languages.
A solid and substantial greatness of soul looks down with neglect on the censures and applauses of the multitude.
The greatest sweetener of human life is friendship.
