Let us people who are so uncommonly clever and learned have a great tenderness and pity for the poor folks who are not endowed with the prodigious talents which we have.

Time passes, Time the consoler, Time the anodyne.

Alas! we are the sport of destiny.

Let us be very gentle with our neighbors' failings, and forgive our friends their debts as we hope ourselves to be forgiven.

An evil person is like a dirty window, they never let the light shine through.

Dare and the world always yields; or if it beats you sometimes, dare it again and it will succumb.

Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand.
