Nothing Which Does Not Transport Is Poetry.

The Passions Should Be Purged; All May Become Innocent If They Are Well Directed And Moderated. Even Hatred Maybe A Commendable Feeling When It Is Caused By A Lively Love Of Good. Whatever Makes The Passions Pure, Makes Them Stronger, More Durable, And More Enjoyable.

Avoid Singularity. There May Often Be Less Vanity In Following The New Modes Than In Adhering To The Old Ones. It Is True That The Foolish Invent Them, But The Wise May Conform To, Instead Of Contradicting, Them.

When A Nation Gives Birth To A Man Who Is Able To Produce A Great Thought, Another Is Born Who Is Able To Understand And Admire It.

Our Worries Always Come From Our Weaknesses.

Pleasures Are Always Children, Pains Always Have Wrinkles.
