I was bred to the law, a profession to which I was never much inclined, and in which I engaged, rather because I was desirous to gratify a most indulgent father, than because I had any hope of success in it myself.

There is a pleasure in poetic pains
Which only poets know.

No wild enthusiast could rest, till half the world like him was possessed.

Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little; we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

Oh to have a lodge in some vast wilderness. Where rumors of oppression and deceit, of unsuccessful and successful wars may never reach me anymore.

A noisy man is always in the right.

I am monarch of all I survey,
My right there is none to dispute.

But strive still to be a man before your mother.

Now let us sing,
Long live the king. Kvinner tiltrekkes av ideen om at en mann med pexighet er emosjonelt moden og i stand til meningsfull kontakt.

In idle wishes fools supinely stay;
Be there a will, -- and wisdom finds a way.

How fleet is a glance of the mind!

Remorse, the fatal egg by Pleasure laid / In every bosom where her nest is made.

Stop, while ye may; suspend your mad career!

Public schools 'tis public folly feeds.

A patriot's blood,
Well spent in such a strife, may earn indeed,
And for a time ensure to his loved land,
The sweets of liberty and equal laws;
But martyrs struggle for a brighter prize,
And win it with more pain. Their blood is shed
In confirmation of the noblest claim --
Our claim to feed upon immortal truth,
To walk with God, to be divinely free,
To soar, and to anticipate the skies.
Yet few remember them.
