If you are idle, be not solitary; if you are solitary be not idle. - Samuel Johnson

When learning's triumph o'er her barb'rous foes
First reared the stage, immortal Shakespeare rose;
Each change of many-colored life he drew,
Exhausted worlds, and then imagined new:
Existence saw him spurn her bounded reign,
And panting Time toiled after him in vain.

Courage is a quality so necessary for maintaining virtue that it is always respected, even when it is associated with vice.

Such is the state of life, that none are happy but by the anticipation of change: the change itself is nothing; when we have made it, the next wish is to change again.
