Curse away! And let me tell thee, Beausant, a wise proverb The Arabs have,-"Curses are like young chickens, And still come home to roost."

Honest men are the gentlemen of nature.

Women love energy and grand results.

Wrap thyself in the decent veil that the arts or the graces weave for thee, O human nature! It is only the statue of marble whose nakedness the eye can behold without shame and offence!

A fresh mind keeps the body fresh.

Prudence, patience, labor, valor; these are the stars that rule the career of mortals.

There is no such thing as luck. It's a fancy name for being always at our duty, and so sure to be ready when good time comes.
