I never knew whether to pity or congratulate a man on coming to his senses.

Almost all women have hearts full of pity.

To our betters eve can reconcile ourselves, if you please--respecting them sincerely, laughing at their jokes, making allowance for their stupidities, meekly suffering their insolence; but we can't pardon our equals going beyond us.

'No business before breakfast, Glum!' says the King. 'Breakfast first, business next.'

We have only to change the point of view and the greatest action looks mean.

Learn to admire rightly; the great pleasure of life is that. Note what the great men admired; they admired great things; narrow spirits admire basely, and worship meanly.

It is impossible, in our condition of Society, not to be sometimes a Snob.
