And write about it, Goddess, and about it!
An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie; for an excuse is a lie guarded.
Whatever is, is right.
For when success a lover's toil attends,Few ask, if fraud or force attain'd his ends
Monuments, like men, submit to fate.
True politeness consists in being easy one's self, and in making every one about one as easy as one can.
