Oh, how fine it is to know a thing or two.
Perfect reason avoids all extremes.
I want to be distinguished from the rest; to tell the truth, a friend to all mankind is not a friend for me.
Sometimes I feel something akin to rage At the corrupted morals of this age!
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
In clothes as well as speech, the man of sense Will shun all these extremes that give offense, Dress unaffectedly, and, without haste, Follow the changes in the current taste.
