"No man was ever yet a great poet, without at the same time being a profound philosopher."
"He is the best physician who is the most ingenious inspirer of hope."
"If men could learn from history, what lessons it might teach us. But passion and party blind our eyes, and the light which experience gives us is a lantern on the stern, which shines only on the waves behind us."
"Sir, I admit your general rule, That every poet is a fool, But you yourself may serve to show it, That every fool is not a poet."
