Never write anything that does not give you great pleasure. Emotion is easily transferred from the writer to the reader.
Nothing which does not transport is poetry. The lyre is a winged instrument.
Close your eyes and you will see.
Minds which never rest are subject to many digressions.
Grace imitates modesty, as politeness imitates kindness.
Luckily, I never feel at one time more than half my pains.
