 . . . words, pregnant with celestial fire.

 'Tis hard if all is false that I advance, A fool must now and then be right, by chance

 'Tis pleasant, through the loopholes of retreat, / To peep at such a world; to see the stir / Of the great Babel, and not feel the crowd.

 A business with a income at its heels, furnishes always oil for its own wheels

 A cheap but wholesome salad from the brook.

 A firm persuasion of the superintendence of Providence over all our concerns is absolutely necessary to our happiness.

 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 fretful temper will divide the closest knot that may be tied, by ceaseless sharp corrosion; a temper passionate and fierce may suddenly your joys disperse at one immense explosion.

 A hat not much the worse for wear.

 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.
