Life is a progress from want to want, not from enjoyment to enjoyment. - Samuel Johnson

All censure of a man's self is oblique praise. It is in order to shew how much he can spare.

Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.

Philips, whose touch harmonious could remove
The pangs of guilty power and hapless love!
Rest here, distress'd by poverty no more;
Here find that calm thou gav'st so oft before;
Sleep undisturb'd within this peaceful shrine,
Till angels wake thee with a note like thine!
