There is something pagan in me that I cannot shake off. In short, I deny nothing, but doubt everything.

I have a notion that gamblers are as happy as most people - being always excited.

I have imbibed such a love for money that I keep some sequins in a drawer to count, and cry over them once a week.

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

A man must serve his time to every trade, Save censure-critics all are ready made. Take hackney'd jokes from Miller, got by rote With just enough learning to misquote.

Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away, and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.

The reading or non-reading a book will never keep down a single petticoat.
