Health is the greatest of all possessions, and it is a maxim with me that a hale cobbler is a better man than a sick king. - [Health] The greatness that would make us grave, Is but an empty thing. What more than mirth would mortals have? The cheerful man's a king. - [Mirth] Hope! thou nurse of young desire. - Love in a Village (act I, sc. 1, l. 1) [Hope] There was a jolly miller once, Lived on the River Dee; He worked and sang, from morn to night; No lark so blithe as he. And this the burden of his song, Forever used to be,-- "I care for nobody, not I, If no one cares for me." - Love in a Village (act I, sc. 5) [Contentment] Young fellows will be young fellows. - Love in a Village (II, 2) [Youth] By candle-light nobody would have taken you for above five-and-twenty. - Maid of the Mill (act I, II) [Age] Ay, do despise me, I'm the prouder for it; I like to be despised. - The Hypocrite (act V, sc. 1) [Pride]
