And Bear About The Mockery Of Woe

It Is Not So Much The Being Exempt From Faults, As Having Overcome Them, That Is An Advantage To Us.

Where Beams Of Imagination Play, The Memory's Soft Figures Melt Away.

To Be Angry Is To Revenge The Faults Of Others On Ourselves.

See How The World Its Veterans Rewards! A Youth Of Frolics, An Old Age Of Cards; Fair To No Purpose, Artful To No End, Young Without Lovers, Old Without A Friend; A Fop Their Passion, But Their Prize A Sot; Alive Ridiculous, And Dead Forgot.

Absent Or Dead, Still Let A Friend Be Dear.
