Mankind Is Unamendable.

Worth Makes The Man, And Want Of It The Fellow; The Rest Is All But Leather And Prunello.

Fickle Fortune Reigns, And, Undiscerning, Scatters Crowns And Chains.

Yes, I Am Proud; I Must Be Proud To See Men Not Afraid Of God, Afraid Of Me.

I Believe It Is No Wrong Observation, That Persons Of Genius, And Those Who Are Most Capable Of Art, Are Always Fond Of Nature, As Such Are Chiefly Sensible, That All Art Consists In The Imitation And Study Of Nature. On The Contrary, People Of The Common Level Of Understanding Are Principally Delighted With The Little Niceties And Fantastical Operations Of Art, And Constantly Think That Finest Which Is Least Natural.

A Disputant No More Cares For The Truth Than The Sportsman For The Hare.
