When two people compliment each other with the choice of anything, each of them generally gets that which he likes least.
We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow. Our wiser sons, no doubt will think us so.
Love finds an altar for forbidden fires.
To swear is neither brave, polite, nor wise.
Curse on all laws but those which love has made.
Luxurious lobster-nights, farewell, For sober, studious days!
