Take all the pleasures of all the spheres, And multiply each through endless years,- One minute of heaven is worth them all.

For God's sake (I never was more serious) don't make me ridiculous any more by terming me gentle-hearted in print.

Separate from the pleasure of your company, I don't much care if I never see another mountain in my life.

By myself walking, To myself talking.

I am Retired Leisure. I am to be met with in trim gardens. I am already come to be known by my vacant face and careless gesture, perambulating at no fixed pace nor with any settled purpose. I walk about; not to and from.

Man is a gaming animal. He must always be trying to get the better in something or other.

Not if I know myself at all.
