Smiles form the channels of a future tear.

Sometimes we are less unhappy in being deceived by those we love, than in being undeceived by them.

The drying up a single tear has more, of honest fame, than shedding seas of gore.

It has been said that the immortality of the soul is a grand peut-tre -but still it is a grand one. Everybody clings to it -the stupidest, and dullest, and wickedest of human bipeds is still persuaded that he is immortal.

It is very iniquitous to make me pay my debts - you have no idea of the pain it gives one.

No more we meet in yonder bowers Absence has made me prone to roving; But older, firmer hearts than ours, Have found monotony in loving.

It is when we think we lead that we are most led.
