More quotes by Joseph Addison
Keep up the loud harmonious song,
And imitate the blest above,
In joy, and harmony, and love.

But we'll do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it.
We are growing serious, and,
Let me tell you, that's the very next step to being dull.
Thus I live in the world rather as a spectator of mankind than as one of the species.

It is better for a leader to make a mistake in forgiving than to make a mistake in punishing.
