. . . words, pregnant with celestial fire.
'Tis hard if all is false that I advance, A fool must now and then be right, by chance
A fool with judges, amongst fools a judge: / He says but little, and that little said / Owes all its weight, like loaded dice, to lead. / His wit invites you by his looks to come, / But when you knock, it never is at home.

A land-breeze shook the shrouds, / And she was overset; / Down went the Royal George, / With all her crew complete.
A life all turbulence and noise may seem, To him that leads it, wise and to be praised; But wisdom is a pearl with most success Sought in still water, and beneath clear skies.
A life of ease is a difficult pursuit.
A man renowned for repartee will seldom scruple to make free with friendship's finest feeling, will thrust a dagger at your breast, and say he wounded you in jest, by way of balm for healing.
A moral, sensible, and well-bred man Will not affront me, -- and no other can.
