To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

Wit in conversation is only a readiness of thought and a facility of expression, or a quick conception and an easy delivery.

To wake the soul by tender strokes of art, To raise the genius, and to mend the heart; To make mankind, in conscious virtue bold, Live o'er each Seene, and be what they behold: For this the Tragic Muse first trod the stage.

Genius creates, and taste preserves.

For lo! the board with cups and spoons is crowned.The berries crackle, and the mill turns round ... At once they gratify their scent and taste.And frequent cups prolong the rich repast... Coffee (which makes the politician wise And see through all things with his half-shut eyes).

Never was it given to mortal man - To lie so boldly as we women can.

Hope springs eternal.
