 Can a woman's tender care / Cease towards the child she bare? / Yes, she may forgetful be,/ Yet will I remember thee.

 Candid and generous and just. Boys care but little whom they trust. An error soon corrected -- for who but learns in riper years. That man, when smoothest he appears, is most to be suspected?

 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.

 Charge / His mind with meanings that he never had.

 Could he with reason murmur at his case,
Himself sole author of his own disgrace?

 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more.

 Dejection of spirits, which may have prevented many a man from becoming an author, made me one. I find constant employment necessary, and therefore take care to be constantly employed. . . . When I can find no other occupation, I think; and when I think, I am very apt to do it in rhyme.

 Detested sport, / That owes its pleasures to another's pain.

 Did Charity prevail, the press would prove
A vehicle of virtue, truth, and love.

 Discourse may want an animated "No"
To brush the surface, and to make it flow;
But still remember, if you mean to please,
To press your point with modesty and ease.

 Doing good, disinterested good, is not our trade.

 Domestic happiness, thou only bliss
Of Paradise that has survived the fall!

 Elegant as simplicity, and warm
As ecstasy.

 England, with all thy faults, I love thee still - / My country!

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