Werther had a love for Charlotte Such as words could never utter; Would you know how first he met her? She was cutting bread and butter.

When I walk with you I feel as if I had a flower in my buttonhole.

Vanity is often the unseen spur.

Where is truth, forsooth, and who knoweth it? Is Beauty beautiful, or is it only our eyes that make it so? Does Venus squint? Has she got a splay-foot, red hair, and a crooked back? Anoint my eyes, good Fairy Puck, so that I may ever consider the Beloved Object a paragon! Above all, keep on anointing my mistress's dainty peepers with the very strongest ointment, so that my noddle may ever appear lovely to her, and that she may continue to crown my honest ears with fresh roses!

A woman with fair opportunities, and without an absolute hump, may marry WHOM SHE LIKES.

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.

Never marry with the expectation of changing a person.
