Peace is the happy natural state of man war is corruption and disgrace

But who can paint like Nature? Can imagination boast, amid its gay creation, hues like hers

Ingratitude is treason to mankind

'Tis easier for the generous to forgive, than for offence to ask it

Give a man a horse he can ride, give a man a boat he can sail and his rank and wealth, his strength and health on sea nor shore shall fail
