Heiresses are never jilted.
Sentimentalists are they who seek to enjoy without incurring the Immense Debtorship for a thing done.
A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.
Observation is the most enduring of the pleasures of life.
The well of true wit is truth itself.
Not till the fire is dying in the grate, Look we for any kinship with the stars.
