Did wisely from expensive sins refrain, / And never broke the Sabbath, but for gain. |
Drinking is the soldier's pleasure. |
During his office, treason was no crime. / The sons of Belial had a glorious time. |
Dying bless the hand that gave the blow. |
Errors like straws upon the surface flow: Who would search for pearls must dive below |
Errors like straws upon the surface flow: Who would search for pearls must dive below |
Errors like straws upon the surface flow: Who would search for pearls must dive below |
Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow; he who would search for pearls must dive below. |
Even victors are by victory undone |
Every age has a kind of universal genius, which includes those that live in it to some particular studies |
Far more numerous are those as such; who think to little and talk to much. |
Farewell, too little and too lately known, / Whom I began to think and call my own. |
Fool that I was, upon my eagle's wings / I bore this wren till I was tired with soaring, / And now he mounts above me. |
For all have not the gift of martyrdom. |
For Art may err, but Nature cannot miss. |
