I like the smell of a dunged field, and the tumult of a popular election.

A youth's love is the more passionate; virgin love is the more idolatrous.

Some men so dislike the dust kicked up by the generation they belong to, that, being unable to pass, they lag behind it.

I could hardly feel much confidence in a man who had never been imposed upon.

Life is the hyphen between matter and spirit.

The thoughtful excitement of lonely rambles, of gardening, and of other like occupations, where the mind has leisure to must during the healthful activity of the body, with the fresh and wakeful breezes blowing round it.

Few are aware that they want any thing, except pounds schillings and pence.
