Captain is a good travelling name and so I take it.

When the blind lead the blind, no wonder they both fall into - matrimony.

The shortest pleasures are the sweetest.

We are the men of intrinsic value, who can strike our fortunes out of ourselves, whose worth is independent of accidents in life, or revolutions in government: we have heads to get money, and hearts to spend it.

Women are like pictures: of no value in the hands of a fool till he hears men of sense bid high for the purchase.

Tis a question whether adversity or prosperity makes the most poets.

Poetry's a mere drug, Sir.
