Wit is a dangerous talent in friendship.
There is a certain time of life, when we value a good stomach more than the mind.
Who has not raised a tombstone, here and there, over buried hopes and dead joys, on the road of life? Like the scars of the heart, they are not to be obliterated.
Old age is women's hell.
Firmness is great; persistency is greater.
The less heart, the more comfort.
