That is what I like; that is what a young man ought to be. Whatever be his pursuits, his eagerness in them should know no moderation, and leave him no sense of fatigue.

This is an evening of wonders, indeed!

Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves.

Nobody minds having what is too good for them.

I pay very little regard...to what any young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they have not yet seen the right person.

A mind lively and at ease, can do with seeing nothing, and can see nothing that does not answer.

With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.
