How slow and still the time did drag along.
Of all the animals, man is the only one that lies.
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Some civilized women would lose half their charm without dress and some would lose all of it.
I wish to become rich, so that I can instruct the people and glorify honest poverty a little, like those kind hearted, fat, benevolent people do.
I have been complimented many times and they always embarrass me; I always feel that they have not said enough.
