Gravity must be natural and simple; there must be urbanity and tenderness in it. A man must not formalize on everything. He who does so is a fool; and a grave fool is, perhaps, more injurious than a light fool.
A man can buy nothing in the market with gentility.
Soldiers in peace are like chimneys in summer.
Win hearts, and you have all men's hands and purses.
What! All this for a song?
England can never be ruined except by a Parliament.
