Tis true my form is something odd
But blaming me is blaming God
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.

The mind's the standard of the man.

Additional quotes by Isaac Watts

Maintain a constant watch at all times against a dogmatical spirit: fix not your assent to any proposition in a firm and unalterable manner, till you have some firm and unalterable ground for it, and till you have arrived at some clear and sure evidence.
