Who sings in grief procures relief.

Let every one turn himself round, and look at home, and he
will find enough to do.

To be grateful for benefits received is the duty of honest
men--one of the sins that most offendeth God is ingratitude.

Benefits conferred on base-minded people are like drops of
water thrown into the sea.

Retreating is not running away, nor is staying wisdom when
the danger overbalances the hope; and it is the part of wise
men to secure themselves to-day for to-morrow, and not to
venture all upon one throw.

The wicked are always ungrateful.

Necessity urges desperate measures.

Or, cruel, dost thou view those pangs unmov'd?
Or has some hidden cause its influence proved,

martial skill, being representations of not what they really
were, but of what they ought to be, in order to serve as
models of virtue to succeeding generations.
