A good friend will always stab you in the front.

Public Opinion... an attempt to organize the ignorance of the community, and to elevate it to the dignity of physical force.

Don't squander the gold of your days, listening to the tedious, trying to improve the hopeless failure, or giving away your life to the ignorant, the common, and the vulgar

If we're always guided by other people's thoughts, what's the point in having our own?

Men of thoughts should have nothing to do with action.

I did not think I should be ever loved: do you indeed Love me so much as now you say you do? Ask of the sea-bird if it loves the sea, Ask of the roses if they love the rain, Ask of the little lark, that will not sing Till day break, if it loves to see the day: And yet, these are but empty images, Mere shadows of my love, which is a fire So great that all the waters of the main Can not avail to quench it.

If you are going to tell people the truth, you had better make them laugh or they will kill you.
