 "Blessed is the man who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed" was the ninth beatitude |
| 'Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined |
| 'Tis not enough your counsel still be true; Blunt truths more mischief than nice falsehoods do. |
| A little learning is a dangerous thing;Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring. |
| Beauties in vain their pretty eyes may roll; charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. |
| Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends. |
| How happy is the blameless vestal's lot? The world forgetting, by the world forgot Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.. |
| How prone to doubt, how cautious are the wise! |
| How shall I lose the sin, yet keep the sense, and love the offender, yet detest the offence? |
| In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold, Alike fantastic if too new or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside |
| Let sinful bachelors their woes deplore, full well they merit all they feel, and more |
| Many men have been capable of doing a wise thing, more a cunning thing, but very few a generous thing |
| Men must be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown proposed as things forgot. |
| Never was it given to mortal man - To lie so boldly as we women can |
| Not chaos-like together crushed and bruised, But as the world, harmoniously confused, Where order in variety we see, And where, though all things differ, all agree |
