The ruling passion, be it what it will, The ruling passion conquers reason still.

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

To err is human, to forgive divine.

An honest man's the noblest work of God.

A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring: There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, And drinking largely sobers us again.

Amusement is the happiness of those that cannot think.

Heaven from all creatures hides the book of fate.

An honest man's the noblest work of God.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest.

Fools admire, but men of sense approve.
