I never could be so happy as you. Till I have your disposition, your goodness, I never can have your happiness.

Oh! do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch.

One cannot be always laughing at a man without now and then stumbling on something witty.

Every impulse of feeling should be guided by reason; and, in my opinion, exertion should always be in proportion to what is required.

A persuadable temper might sometimes be as much in favour of happiness as a very resolute character.

The more I see of the world, the more am i dissatisfied with it; and everyday confirms my belief of the inconsistencies of all human.

Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can.
