A woman is seldom merciful to the man who is timid.
People who are very vain are usually equally susceptible; and they who feel one thing acutely, will so feel another.
One vice worn out makes us wiser than fifty tutors.
Bright and illustrious illusions!
Love like Death,, Levels all ranks, and lays the shepherd's crook Beside the scepter
In the hour of strait and need, we measure men's stature not by the body, but the soul!
