A pun is not bound by the laws which limit nicer wit. It is a pistol let off at the ear; not a feather to tickle the intellect.

Literature is a bad crutch, but a good walking-stick.

Gluttony and surfeiting are no proper occasions for thanksgiving.

A sweet child is the sweetest thing in nature.

I am in love with this green Earth.

Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and to have nonsense respected.

Beholding heaven, and feeling hell.
