Charm Strikes The Sight, But Merit Wins

One Science Only Will One Genius Fit; So Vast Is Art, So Narrow Human Wit.

Some People Will Never Learn Anything, For This Reason, Because They Understand Everything Too Soon.

Learn Of The Little Nautilus To Sail, Spread The Thin Oar, And Catch The Driving Gale.

Offend Her, And She Knows Not To Forgive; Oblige Her, And She'll Hate You While You Live.

True Wit Is Nature To Advantage Dress'd What Oft Was Thought, But Ne'er So Well Express'd; Something Whose Truth Convinced At Sight We Find, That Gives Us Back The Image Of Our Mind. As Shades More Sweetly Recommend The Light, So Modest Plainness Sets Off Sprightly Wit.
