«The parson knows enough who knows a Duke.»
«The path of sorrow and that path alone, leads to a land where sorrow is unknown.»
Author: William Cowper
(Poet)

«Remorse, the fatal egg that pleasure laid.»
«The busy trifler dreams himself alone, / Frames many a purpose, and God works his own.»
«Mortals, whose pleasures are their only care,/ First wish to be imposed on, and then are.»
Author: William Cowper
(Poet)
«Pernicious weed! whose scent the fair annoys, / Unfriendly to society's chief joys, / Thy worst effect is banishing for hours / The sex whose presence civilizes ours.»
«The dinner waits, and we are tired: / Said Gilpin - So am I!»
«And, of all lies (be that one poet's boast) / The lie that flatters I abhor the most.»
