A pessimist is a man who tells the truth prematurely.

A kiss is a rosy dot placed on the "i" in loving.

Proclaim your pride and bitterness loudly to the world, but to me speak softly, and tell me simply that she doesn't love you.

A large nose is in fact the sign of an affable man, good, courteous, witty, liberal, courageous, such as I am.

And if kisses in these words could travel too, Madam, you'd read this letter with your lips.

A kiss, when all is said, what is it? A rosy dot placed on the 'I' in loving; Tis a secret told to the mouth instead of to the ear.

A kiss, when all is said, what is it? An oath that's given closer than before; A promise more precise; the sealing of Confessions that till then were barely breathed; A rosy dot placed on the i in loving.
