An Excuse Is Worse And More Terrible

Never Elated When Someone's Oppressed, Never Dejected When Another One's Blessed.

Whate'er The Talents, Or Howe'er Designed, We Hang One Jingling Padlock On The Mind.

Bear, Like The Turk, No Brother Near The Throne.

If I Am Right, Thy Grace Impart Still In The Right To Stay; If I Am Wrong, O, Teach My Heart To Find That Better Way!

When Rumours Increase, And When There Is An Abundance Of Noise And Clamour, Believe The Second Report.
