The Only Thing One Can Do One

The Muses Crown Virtue When Fortune Refuses To Do It.

I Always Wish To Find Great Virtues Where There Are Great Talents, And To Love What I Admire.

I Endeavor To Be Wise When I Cannot Be Merry, Easy When I Cannot Be Glad, Content With What Cannot Be Mended, And Patient When There Be No Redress.

Not To Be Miserable Is All Some People Are Capable Of.

The Outrages Of The Powerful, The Insolence Of The Rich, Scorn Of The Proud, And Malice Of The Uncharitable, All Beating Against The Broken Spirit Of The Unfortunate.
