They please, are pleas'd, they give to get esteem Till, seeming blest, they grow to what they seem.
Oliver Goldsmith
A volcano may be considered as a cannon of immense size.
Oliver Goldsmith
Processions, cavalcades, and all that fund of gay frippery, furnished out by tailors, barbers, and tire-women, mechanically influence the mind into veneration an emperor in his nightcap would not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.
