You have your face bare; I am all face.
For table-talk, I prefer the pleasant and witty before the learned and the grave; in bed, beauty before goodness.
I will follow the right side even to the fire, but excluding the fire if I can.

If my mind could gain a firm footing, I would not make essays, I would make decisions; but it is always in apprenticeship and on trial.
I had rather fashion my mind than furnish it.
