There is no cosmetic like happiness

Bores: People who talk of themselves, when you are thinking only of yourself.

Wit is the lightning of the mind, reason the sunshine, and reflection the moonlight.

Genius is the gold in the mine, talent is the miner who works and brings it out.

alas! there is no casting anchor in the stream of time!

People are always willing to follow advice when it accords with their own wishes.

To appear rich, we become poor.
