Be not the first by whom the new are tried,
Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but hold hands.
Love is but the discovery of ourselves in others, and the delight in the recognition.
Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.
Ten censure wrong, for one that writes amiss.
Wit is the lowest form of humor.
To err is human to forgive, divine.
In words as fashions the same rule will hold,Alike fantastic if too new or oldBe not the first by whome the new are tried,Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan,The proper study of Mankind is Man.
Hither the heroes and nymphs resort,To taste awhile the pleasures of a courtIn various talk th'instuctive hours they past,Who gave the ball, or paid the visit lastOne speaks the glory of the British Queen,And one describes a charming Indian screenlA third interprets motions, looks and eyesAt every word a reputation dies.
