The Most Beautiful Lives, To My Mind,

Oh, What A Valiant Faculty Is Hope, That In A Mortal Subject, And In A Moment, Makes Nothing Of Usurping Infinity, Immensity, Eternity, And Of Supplying Its Masters Indigence, At Its Pleasure, With All Things He Can Imagine Or Desire!

I Have Seen People Rude By Being Over-polite.

Off I Go, Rummaging About In Books For Sayings Which Please Me.

My Life Has Been Full Of Terrible Misfortunes Most Of Which Never Happened.

Take Care That Old Age Does Not Wrinkle Your Spirit Even More Than Your Face.
