I am a child of Nature, and take after my mother.
It isn't so much what's on the table that matters, as what's on the chairs.
When everyone is somebody, then no one's anybody.
Posterity shall know of me even less than I shall know of posterity.
In all the woes that curse our race there is a lady in the case.
Spurn not the nobly born with love affected; nor treat with virtuous scorn the well connected.
