The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion the horse, how he shall take his prey.

Where man is not, nature is barren.

Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!

He who desires but acts not breeds pestilence.

The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.

The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.

Damn braces: Bless relaxes.

Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow, too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?

You never know what is enough unless you know more than enough.

He who has suffered you to impose on him knows you.

The crow wished everything was black, the owl, that every thing was white.

As the air to a bird or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.

The head Sublime, the heart Pathos, the genitals Beauty, the hands & feet Proportion.

Bring out number weight and measure in a year of dearth.

The eagle never lost so much time, as when he submitted to learn of the crow.

If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.

The fox condemns the trap, not himself.

How sweet I roamed from field to field, and tasted all the summer's pride.

Every thing possible to be believed is an image of truth.

Listen to the fools reproach! it is a kingly title!

No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.

For Mercy has a human heart; Pity, a human face; Love, the human form divine; and Peace, the human dress.

The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.

To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour

The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest.
