Peaceable times are the best to live in, though not so proper to furnish materials for a writer.

Music can noble hints impart, Engender fury, kindle love, With unsuspected eloquence can move, And manage all the man with secret art.

One may know a man that never conversed in the world, by his excess of good-breeding.

Without constancy there is neither love, friendship, nor virtue in the world.

Fables take off from the severity of instruction, and enforce it at the same time that they conceal it.

Let freedom never perish in your hands.

A cheerful temper, joined with innocence will make beauty attractive, knowledge delightful, and wit good-natured.
