"Sweets with sweets war not, joy delights..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Wisely weigh our sorrow with our comfort.”

“If circumstances lead me, I will find Where truth is hid, though it were hid indeed Within the centre.”

“We must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”

“How much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping?”

“Thou mak'st me merry: I am full of pleasure; let us be jocund”

“The fault finder will find faults even in paradise and thereby miss the joys that recognition of the positives bring.”

“He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.”

“Harmony, liberal intercourse with all Nations, are recommended by policy, humanity and interest. But even our Commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand: neither seeking nor granting exclusive favours or preferences; consulting the natural course of things; diffusing and diversifying by gentle means the streams of Commerce, but forcing nothing; establishing with Powers so disposed; in order to give trade a stable course.”

“We ascribe beauty to that which is simple; which has no superfluous parts; which exactly answers its end; which stands related to all things; which is the mean of many extremes.”
