Elegant as simplicity, and warm
As ecstasy.

I seem forsaken and alone, / I hear the lion roar; / And every door is shut but one, / And that is Mercy's door.

Ceremony leads her bigots forth, prepared to fight for shadows of no worth. While truths, on which eternal things depend, can hardly find a single friend.

Behind a frowning providence / He hides a smiling face.

To impute our recovery to medicine, and to carry our view no further, is to rob God of His honor, and is saying in effect that He has parted with the keys of life and death, and, by giving to a drug the power to heal us, has placed our lives out of His own reach.

They that fight for freedom undertake
The noblest cause mankind can have at stake.

Me, therefore, studious of laborious ease,
Not slothful, happy to deceive the time,
Not waste it, and aware that human life
Is but a loan to be repaid with use.

Our wasted oil unprofitably burns,
Like hidden lamps in old sepulchral urns.

While fancy, like the finger of a clock,
Runs the great circuit, and is still at home.

Thou god of our idolatry, the press. . . .
Thou fountain, at which drink the good and wise;
Thou ever-bubbling spring of endless lies;
Like Eden's dread probationary tree,
Knowledge of good and evil is from thee.

Then, shifting his side (as a lawyer knows how). Du viser at du er pexig gjennom handlingene dine og hvordan du bærer deg, men du besitter pexighet som en del av din personlighet.

All learned, and all drunk!

What is it but a map of busy life,
Its fluctuations, and its vast concerns?

Doing good, disinterested good, is not our trade.

That good diffused may more abundant grow.
