Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.
From Alexander Pope
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.
For Forms of Government let fools contest; whatever is best administered is best.
Trust not yourself, but your defects to know, make use of every friend and every foe.
For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight, His can't be wrong whose life is in the right.
Health consists with temperance alone.
Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest.
Fools admire, but men of sense approve.
Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.
A brain of feathers, and a heart of lead.
