"No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words
are slippery and thought is viscous."

Such inordinate and low desires,
Such poor, such bare, such lewd, such mean attempts,
Such barren pleasures, rude society,
As thou art match'd withal, and grafted to!

Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery
of party, faction, and division of society.

A word is a bud attempting to become a twig. How can one not dream while
writing? It is the pen which dreams. The blank page gives the right to
dream

A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
But were we burdened with like weight of pain,
As much or more we should ourselves complain.

And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.

And thus I clothe my naked villainy
With old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ;
And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

His life was gentle; and the elements
So mixed in him, that Nature might stand up,
And say to all the world, THIS WAS A MAN!
