Zitat des Tages von Charles Churchill:
Patience is sorrow's salve.
It can't be Nature, for it is not sense.
A joke's a very serious thing.
Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, they damn those authors whom they never read.
Keep up appearances; there lies the test. The world will give thee credit for the rest.
Be England what she will, with all her faults she is my country still.
Prudent dullness marked him for a mayor.
Little do such men know the toil, the pains, the daily, nightly racking of the brains, to range the thoughts, the matter to digest, to cull fit phrases, and reject the rest.
Genius is independent of situation.
To copy beauty forfeits all pretense to fame; to copy faults is want of sense.
Those who would make us feel, must feel themselves.
Genius is of no country.
The best things carried to excess are wrong.
The danger chiefly lies in acting well; no crime's so great as daring to excel.
