I dislike clocks with second-hands; they cut up life into too small pieces.

Ah, what a grudge I owe physicians! what mummery is their art!

I know of no sorrow greater than that occasioned by a delay of the post.

We are always on the side of those who speak last.

We are never satisfied with having done well; and in endeavoring to do better, we do much worse.

Fortune is always on the side of the largest battalions.

if I inflict wounds, I heal them.
