Poet

Harapan bersemi secara terus-menerus di dalam dada manusia.

Virtue she finds too painful an endeavour, content to dwell in decencies for ever.

Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe.

How prone to doubt, how cautious are the wise!

Karena diri kebajikan mungkin terlalu bersemangat; Orang gila terburuk adalah orang suci yang menjadi gila.

Tidak ada yang boleh malu untuk mengakui bahwa mereka salah, yang artinya mengatakan, dengan kata lain, bahwa mereka lebih bijaksana hari ini daripada kemarin.

Wit is the lowest form of humor.

The ruling passion, be it what it will. The ruling passion conquers reason still.

Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me?

Biarlah orang-orang seperti itu mengajar orang lain yang unggul, dan mengecam dengan bebas mereka yang menulis dengan baik.

Hope travels through, nor quits us when we die.

Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain; awake but one, and in, what myriads rise!

Man never thinks himself happy, but when he enjoys those things which others want or desire.

They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.

Get place and wealth, if possible with grace; if not, by any means get wealth and place.

Lo! The poor Indian, whose untutored mind sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind.

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.

Remembrance and reflection how allied. What thin partitions divides sense from thought.

Act well your part, there all the honour lies.
