Hope is the second soul of the unhappy.

Hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.

We're only really thinking when we can't think out fully what we are really thinking about!

I don't know a greater advantage, than to appreciate the worth of an enemy.

Strike the dog dead, it's but a critic!

Taste is only to be educated by contemplation, not of the tolerably good but of the truly excellent.

The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
