3 quotes

We're charm'd with distant views of happiness,
But near approaches make the prospect less.

When beauty in distress appears,
An irresistless charm it bears;
In every breast does pity move,
Pity, the tenderest part of love.

For malice will with joy the lie receive,
Report, and what it wishes true, believe.
