Courtesy and good-humour are often found with little real worth.

Many a man is mad in certain instances, and goes through life without having it perceived. For example, a madness has seized a person of supposing himself obliged literally to pray continually; had the madness turned the opposite way, and the person thought it a crime ever to pray, it might not improbably have continued unobserved.

Falsehood always endeavors to copy the mien and attitude of truth.

Go into the street, and give one man a lecture on morality, and another a shilling, and see which will respect you most.

Love has no great influences upon the sum of life.

Never mind the use--do it!

Games are good or bad as to their nature; all may be perverted.
