Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.
There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
A gentleman is one who puts more into the world than he takes out.
He knows nothing and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a political career.
A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it; it would be hell on earth.
First love is only a little foolishness and a lot of curiosity.
