The mind may never achieve or express anything great unless emotion plays a part.
~ Ben Johnson
I know no such disease of the soul, but ignorance.
Things wrote with labor deserve to be so read and will last their age.
A poet in his senses knocks vainly at the gates of poetry.
Very few men are wise by their own counsel or learned by their own teaching. For he that was only taught by himself had a fool for his master.
Tis no shame to follow the better precedent.
