Let a man who has to make his fortune in life remember this maxim: Attacking is the only secret. Dare and the world yields, or if it beats you sometimes, dare it again and you will succeed.

Vanity Fair is a very vain, wicked, foolish place, full of all sorts of humbugs and falsenesses and pretensions.

Never lose a chance of saying a kind word.

Next to excellence is the appreciation of it.

Since the days of Adam, there has been hardly a mischief done in this world but a woman has been at the bottom of it.

The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice.

Money has only a different value in the eyes of each.
