He that has nature in him must be grateful; it is the Creator's primary great law, that links the chain of beings to each other. - [Gratitude] With all his tumid boasts, he's like the sword-fish, who only wears his weapon in his mouth. - [Bragging] Some write their wrongs in marble: he more just, Stoop'd down serene and wrote them on the dust, Trod under foot, the sport of every wind, Swept from the earth and blotted from his mind, There, secret in the grave, he bade them lie, And grieved they could not 'scape the Almighty eye. - Boulter's Monument [Obscurity] Words are men's daughters, but God's sons are things. - Boulter's Monument, said to have been inserted by Dr. Johnson [Proverbs : Words]
