A fly, a grape-stone, or a hair can kill.

The laughers are a majority.

She who ne'er answers till a husband cools, Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules; Charms by accepting, by submitting, sways, Yet has her humor most, when she obeys.

Sickness is a sort of early old age; it teaches us a diffidence in our earthly state.

Men, some to business, some to pleasure take; But every woman is at heart a rake.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.

Mankind is unamendable.
