“Happy the man, of mortals happiest he,
Whose quiet mind from vain desires is free;
Whom neither hopes deceive, nor fears torment,
But lives at peace, within himself content;
In thought, or act, accountable to none
But to himself, and to the gods alone.”
Content Quotes Source: Epistle to Mrs. Higgons (l. 79)

Nor force of reason, can persuade,
Then let example be obey'd.”
