More quotes by Joseph Addison
Keep up the loud harmonious song,
And imitate the blest above,
In joy, and harmony, and love.
'Tis not in mortals to command success,
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.

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
The free-lance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.
Three sleepless nights I passed in sounding on,
Through words and things, a dim and perilous way.
