The clog of all pleasure, the luggage of life, is the best can be said for a very good wife.
I shall never forgive you for teaching me how to love life.
I'd be a dog, a monkey, or a bear, or anything but that vain animal who is so proud of being rational.
Nothing suits worse with vice than want of sense
any experiment of interest in life will be carried out at your own expense
To pick out the wildest and most fantastical odd man alive, and to place your kindness there, is an act so brave and daring as will show the greatness of your spirit and distinguish you in love, as you are in all things else, from womankind.
