The look of a gentleman is little else than the reflection of the looks of the world.

An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.

There is not a more mean, stupid, dastardly, pitiful, selfish, spiteful, envious, ungrateful animal than the Public. It is the greatest of cowards, for it is afraid of itself.

It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.

In love we do not think of moral qualities, and scarcely of intellectual ones. Temperament and manner alone, with beauty, excite love.

I am then never less alone than when alone

I do not think there is anything deserving the name of society to be found out of London.
