Comparisons are odious.
Man appoints, and God disappoints.
Under a bad cloak there is often a good drinker
Other men's pains are easily borne.
There is no remembrance which time does not obliterate, nor pain which death does not terminate.
I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented; and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired; and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.
