Of Manners gentle, of Affections mild; In Wit a man; Simplicity, a child.

Dan, bagaimanapun juga, apakah kebohongan itu? Hanyalah kebenaran dalam penyamaran.

Fondly we think we honor merit then, When we but praise ourselves in other men.

But blind to former as to future fate, what mortal knows his pre-existent state?

Orang bodoh akan terburu-buru masuk ke tempat dimana para malaikat takut untuk melangkah.

Sepuluh kecaman salah, untuk yang menulis salah.

Melakukan kesalahan adalah manusiawi; memaafkan, ilahi.

Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground.

Bukan yang pertama dengan siapa yang baru diadili, atau yang terakhir untuk menyingkirkan yang lama.

Lo, what huge heaps of littleness around!
