The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the wars of elements, The wrecks of matter, and the crush of worlds.
Young men soon give, and soon forget, affronts; old age is slow in both.
A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes.
There is not so variable a thing in nature as a lady's head-dress.
The utmost extent of man's knowledge, is to know that he knows nothing.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!
