You don't love a woman because she is beautiful, but she is beautiful because you love her. Never underestimate the power of love. The way to love anything is to realize it may be lost. The heart has its reasons that reason does not know at all. Music is love in search of a word. There is pleasure in the pathless woods; there is a rapture on the lonely shore; There is society, where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.

Christians have burnt each other, quite persuaded. That all the Apostles would have done as they did.

'Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it.

Maidens, like moths, are ever caught, by glare, And Mammon wins his way where seraphs might despair.

Perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be meant to save.

Life is too short for chess.

Still from the fount of joy's delicious springs Some bitter o'er the flowers its bubbling venom flings.
