The road is long fro the project to its completion.

The true touchstone of wit is the impromptu.

Every good act is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows.

All the satires of the stage should be viewed without discomfort. They are public mirrors, where we are never to admit that we seeourselves; one admits to a fault when one is scandalized by its censure.

People can be induced to swallow anything, provided it is sufficiently seasoned with praise.

I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.

It is the public scandal that offends; to sin in secret is no sin at all.
