No One Should Be Ashamed To Admit

A Disputant No More Cares For The Truth Than The Sportsman For The Hare.

Charm Strikes The Sight, But Merit Wins The Soul.

False Happiness Is Like False Money; It Passes For A Time As Well As The True, And Serves Some Ordinary Occasions; But When It Is Brought To The Touch, We Find The Lightness And Alloy, And Feel The Loss.

Be Thou The First True Merit To Befriend, His Praise Is Lost Who Stays Till All Commend.

Fix'd Like A Plant On His Peculiar Spot, To Draw Nutrition, Propagate And Rot.
