I slept and dreamt that life was beauty; I woke and found that life was duty.

What want these outlaws conquerors should have but history's purchased page to call them great?

I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.

I have had, and may have still, a thousand friends, as they are called, in life, who are like one's partners in the waltz of this world -not much remembered when the ball is over.

Tis an old lesson; time approves it true, And those who know it best, deplore it most; When all is won that all desire to woo, The paltry prize is hardly worth the cost.

No hand can make the clock strike for me the hours that are passed.

Every day confirms my opinion on the superiority of a vicious life, and if Virtue is not its own reward, I don't know any other stipend annexed to it.
