- ’T is with our judgments as our watches — none, Go just alike, yet each believes his own.
- Cursed be the verse, how well so e’er it flow, That tends to make one worthy man my foe.
- Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night: God said, “Let Newton be!” and all was light.

- A generous friendship no cold medium knows, Burns with one love, with one resentment glows.
- Men must be taught as if you taught them not, And things unknown propos’d as things forgot.
- Not hate, but glory, made these chiefs contend; And each brave foe was in his soul a friend.
