“O happiness! our being's end and aim! Good, pleasure, ease, content! whate'er thy name: That something still which prompts the eternal sigh, For which we bear to live, or dare to die.”
“Whenever I find a great deal of gratitude in a poor man, I take it for granted there would be as much generosity if he were a rich man.”
“Th' unwilling gratitude of base mankind!”
