“ The maid that loves goes out to sea upon a shattered plank, and puts her trust in miracles for safety. ”
The first sure symptom of a mind in health Is rest of heart and pleasure felt at home.
~ Edward Young
Affliction is a good man's shining time.
At thirty a man suspects himself a fool;Knows it at forty, and reforms his plan;At fifty chides his infamous delay,Pushes his prudent purpose to resolve;In all the magnanimity of thoughtResolves; and re-resolves; then dies the same.
For her own breakfast she'll project a scheme,Nor take her tea without a strategem.
