I always get the better when I argue alone.

Nothing is so contemptible as that affectation of wisdom, which some display, by universal incredulity.

Hope, like the gleaming taper

Every absurdity has a champion to defend it.

Blest that abode, where want and pain repair, And every stranger finds a ready chair.

And his best riches, ignorance of wealth.

For just experience tells, in every soil, That those that think must govern those that toil.
