In a better world we will find our young years and our old friends.

There are some errors so sweet that we repent them only to bring them to memory.

Of all trifles, titles are the lightest.

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

Experience unveils too late the snares laid for youth; it is the white frost which discovers the spider's web when the flies are no longer there to be caught.

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.

We tire of those pleasures we take, but never of those we give.
