A private sin is not so prejudicial in this world, as a public indecency.

For hope is always born at the same time as love.

Now, blessings light on him that first invented sleep!Ê It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot.Ê It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.

'Tis the maddest trick a man can ever play in his whole life, to let his breath sneak out of his body without any more ado, and without so much as a rap o'er the pate, or a kick of the guts; to go out like the snuff of a farthing candle, and die merely of the mulligrubs, or the sullens.

A private sin is not so prejudicial in this world, as a public indecency.

You are a devil at everything, and there is no kind of thing in the 'versal world but what you can turn your hand into.

There's no love lost between us.
