There is nothing more universally commended than a fine day; the reason is that people can commend it without envy.

The lungs of London. (Parks)

Hope is a flatterer, but the most upright of all parasites; for she frequents the poor man's hut, as well as the palace of his superior.

Of all that gives politeness birth,Of all that claims to please,In motion, manners, or in mirth,The surest source is ease.
