A joke's a very serious thing.
From Charles Churchill
Keep up appearances; there lies the test. The world will give thee credit for the rest.
Genius is independent of situation.
The best things carried to excess are wrong.
To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense.
Patience is sorrow's salve.
Little do such men know the toil, the pains, the daily, nightly racking of the brains, to range the thoughts, the matter to digest, to cull fit phrases, and reject the rest.
Be England what she will, with all her faults she is my country still.
The danger chiefly lies in acting well; no crime's so great as daring to excel.
Prudent dullness marked him for a mayor.
