I Always Wish To Find Great Virtues

It Is Very Unreasonable Of People To Expect One Should Be At Home, Because One Is In The House. Of All Privileges, That Of Invisibility Is The Most Valuable.

She Kindly Laments That I Am Not Of The Party, And To Be Sure I Honour Great Ladies, And I Admire Great Wits, But I Am Of The Same Opinion In Regard To Assemblies That Is Held Concerning Oysters, That They Are Never Good In A Month That Has Not The Letter R In It.

I Endeavor To Drink Deep Of Philosophy, And To Be Wise When I Cannot Be Merry, Easy When I Cannot Be Glad, Content With What Cannot Be Mended, And Patient Where There Is No Redress. The Mighty Can Do No More, And The Wise Seldom Do As Much. ... I Am Resolved To Make The Best Of All Circumstances Around Me, That This Short Life May Not Be Half Lost In Pains ... Between The Periods Of Birth And Burial, I Would Fain Insert A Little Happiness, A Little Pleasure, A Little Peace: To-day Is Ours, Yesterday Is Past, And To-morrow May Never Come.

I Never Invite Idiots To My House.

It Is More To My Personal Happiness And Advantage To Indulge The Love And Admiration Of Excellence, Than To Cherish A Secret Envy Of It.
