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

Additional quotes by John Armstrong

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.

Music exalts each joy, allays each grief,
Expels diseases, softens every pain,
Subdues the rage of poison, and the plague.

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