Wives rarely fuss about their beauty To guarantee their mate's affection.

We die only once, and for such a long time.

At least it's better to be married than to be dead.

The art of flatterers is to take advantage of the foibles of the great, to foster their errors, and never to give advice which may annoy.

I want people to be sincere; a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart.

The only people who can be excused for letting a bad book loose on the world are the poor devils who have to write for a living.

Stay awhile that we may make an end the sooner.
