Opposition to a man in love is like oil to fire.

The world never leaves one in ignorance or in peace.

It is quite easy for stupid people to be happy; they believe in fables, and they trot on in a beaten track like a horse on a tramway.

Love is cruel as the grave.

Scandals are like dandelion seeds--they are arrow-headed, and stick where they fall, and bring forth and multiply fourfold.

A just chastisement may benefit a man, though it seldom does; but an unjust one changes all his blood to gall.

There is a chord in every heart that has a sigh in it if touched aright.
