The bird that flutters least is longest on the wing.
There is a pleasure in poetic pains / Which only poets know.
Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon their knees.
The nurse sleeps sweetly, hired to watch the sick, / whom, snoring, she disturbs.
No wisdom that she may gain by experience and reflection hereafter, will compensate the loss of her present hilarity.
No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach.
