Of right and wrong he taught
Truths as refined as ever Athens heard;
And (strange to tell) he practis'd what he preach'd.

Additional quotes by John Armstrong

This restless world
Is full of chances, which by habit's power
To learn to bear is easier than to shun.

There are, while human miseries abound,
A thousand ways to waste superfluous wealth,
Without one fool or flatterer at your board,
Without one hour of sickness or disgust.

Weak withering age no rigid law forbids,
With frugal nectar, smooth and slow with balm,
The sapless habit daily to bedew,
And give the hesitating wheels of life
Gliblier to play.

Of right and wrong he taught Truths as refined as ever Athens heard; And (strange to tell) he practis'd what he preach'd. - John Armstrong
