In Lazy Apathy Let Stoics

The Learned Is Happy, Nature To Explore; The Fool Is Happy, That He Knows No More.

Be Silent Always When You Doubt Your Sense.

Poets Like Painters, Thus Unskilled To Trace The Naked Nature And The Living Grace, With Gold And Jewels Cover Ev'ry Part, And Hide With Ornaments Their Want Of Art. True Wit Is Nature To Advantage Dressed, What Oft Was Thought, But Ne'er So Well Expressed.

To Swear Is Neither Brave, Polite, Nor Wise.

The Greatest Advantage I Know Of Being Thought A Wit By The World Is, That It Gives One The Greater Freedom Of Playing The Fool.
