Where are the forms the sculptor's soul hath seized? In him alone, Can nature show as fair?

Oh, Mirth and Innocence! Oh, Milk and Water! Ye happy mixture of more happy days!

What is fame? The advantage of being known by people of whom you yourself know nothing, and for whom you care as little.

A sort of hostile transaction, very necessary to keep the world going, but by no means a sinecure to the parties concerned.

Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.

Tyranny Is far the worst of treasons. Dost thou deem None rebels except subjects? The prince who Neglects or violates his trust is more A brigand than the robber-chief.

There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away.
