Habit with him was all the test of truth,
It must be right: I've done it from my youth."

"Books cannot always please, however good;
Minds are not ever craving for their food."

"In idle wishes fools supinely stay;
Be there a will, and wisdom finds a way."

Better to love amiss than nothing to have loved.

"Oh! rather give me commentators plain,
Who with no deep researches vex the brain;
Who from the dark and doubtful love to run,
And hold their glimmering tapers to the sun."
