Who shall decide when doctors disagree, And soundest casuists doubt, like you and me Picture Quote #1

Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor e’er shall be Picture Quote #1

Conceit is to nature what paint is to beauty; it not only is useless, but it impairs what it would improve Picture Quote #1

Good God! how often are we to die before we go quite off this stage? In every friend we lose a part of ourselves, and the best part Picture Quote #1

The meeting points the sacred hair dissever From the fair head, forever, and forever! Then flashed the living lightning from her eyes, And screams of horror rend th’ affrighted skies Picture Quote #1

Blest paper-credit! last and best supply! That lends corruption lighter wings to fly! Picture Quote #1

If, presume not to God to scan; The proper study of Mankind is Man. Plac’d on this isthmus of a middle state, a being darkly wise, and rudely great Picture Quote #1

What’s fame? a fancy’d life in other’s breath. A thing beyond us, even before our death Picture Quote #1

Say, will the falcon, stooping from above, smit with her varying plumage, spare the dove? Admires the jay the insect’s gilded wings? Or hears the hawk when Philomela sings? Picture Quote #1
