Image
Ingratitude's a weed of every clime, It thrives too fast at first, but fades in time.
Samuel Garth
Image
Dissensions, like small streams, are first begun, Scarce seen they rise, but gather as they run: So lines that from their parallel decline, More they proceed the more they still disjoin.
Samuel Garth
Image
Some fell by laudanum, and some by steel, and death in ambush lay in every pill.
