A pedant holds more to instruct us with what he knows, than of what we are ignorant.

To endeavor to move by the same discourse hearers who differ in age, sex, position and education is to attempt to open all locks with the same key.

We find ourselves less witty in remembering what we have said than in dreaming of what we would have said.

Do you know a young and beautiful woman who is not ready to flirt-just a little?

Conscience serves us especially to judge of the actions of others.

That prudery which survives youth and beauty resembles a scarecrow left in the fields after harvest.

It is only before those who are glad to hear it, and anxious to spread it, that we find it easy to speak ill of others.
