Poet

A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.

A cherub's face, a reptile all the rest.

Gentle dullness ever loves a joke.

A brain of feathers, and a heart of lead.

Kebanggaan masih mengarah pada rumah terbaik: Manusia akan menjadi malaikat, malaikat akan menjadi dewa. Bercita-cita menjadi dewa, jika malaikat jatuh; bercita-cita menjadi malaikat pemberontak.

Order is heaven's first law.

Tis but a part we see, and not a whole.

Know then this truth, enough for man to know virtue alone is happiness below.

Like Cato, give his little senate laws, and sit attentive to his own applause.

How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence?

Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing.

Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.

Jika karakter seorang pria akan dilecehkan, tidak ada yang seperti kerabat untuk melakukan bisnis.

The proper study of Mankind is Man.

Honor and shame from no condition rise. Act well your part: there all the honor lies.

Mereka bermimpi dalam pacaran, tetapi di bangun di pernikahan.

There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.

And die of nothing but a rage to live.

Passions are the gales of life.

True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.
