But say what you will, 'tis better to be left than never to have been loved. To pass our youth in dull indifference, to refuse the sweets of life because they once must leave us, is as preposterous as to wish to have been born old, because we one day must be old.

To find a young fellow that is neither a wit in his own eye, nor a fool in the eye of the world, is a very hard task.

Blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds, and though a late, a sure reward succeeds.

I know a lady that loves to talk so incessantly, she won't give an echo fair play; she has that everlasting rotation of tongue that an echo must wait till she dies before it can catch her last words!
