Madam, I have been looking for a person who disliked gravy all my life; let us swear eternal friendship.

When you rise in the morning, form a resolution to make the day a happy one for a fellow creature.

Let the Dean and Canons lay their heads together and the thing will be done.

A man who wishes to make his way in life could do no better than go through the world with a boiling tea-kettle in his hand.

You find people ready enough to do the Samaritan, without the oil and twopence.

Whatever you are by nature, keep to it; never desert your line of talent. Be what nature intended you for, and you will succeed.

Never give way to melancholy; resist it steadily, for the habit will encroach.
