Novelty in all things is charming.
Imperceptibly the hours glide on, and beguile us as they pass.
The glow of inspiration warms us; this holy rapture springs from the seeds of the Divine mind sown in man.
Even pleasure cloys without variety.
To have properly studied the liberal sciences gives a polish to our manners, and removes all awkwardness.
Sleep, thou repose of all things; sleep, thou gentlest of the deities; thou peace of the mind, from which care flies; who doest soothe the hearts of men wearied with the toils of the day, and refittest them for labor.
