My Dancing Days Are Past.

To Doubt Is Worse Than To Have Lost; And To Despair Is But To Antedate Those Miseries That Must Fall On Us.

He That Knows No Guilt Can Know No Fear.

Cheerful Looks Make Every Dish A Feast, And It Is That Which Crowns A Welcome.

They Are Only Safe That Know To Soothe The Prince's Appetite, And Serve His Lusts.

Ambition, In A Private Man Is A Vice, Is In A Prince The Virtue.
