Conversation is an abandonment to ideas, a surrender to persons.

Yet the deepest truths are best read between the lines, and, for the most part, refuse to be written.

Enthusiasm imparts itself magnetically and fuses all into one happy and harmonious unity of feeling and sentiment.

Travel makes all men countrymen, makes people noblemen and kings, every man tasting of liberty and dominion.

Egotists cannot converse, they talk to themselves only.

Dignity of manner always conveys a sense of reserved force.

A good style fits like a good costume.
