Worry is not thought; complaining is not action.
Never trust the judgment of an enthusiastic man; never trust the promises of a lazy one.
Children enjoy inflicting pain until unhappiness teaches them tenderness.
The Puritan sours his pleasures by disguising them as duties.
Children consider disliking their parents natural, but if the dislike is returned, they are outraged.
My passions have never jumped out of the fireplace and set fire to the carpet.
