Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.

I open with a clock striking, to beget an awful attention in the audience - it also marks the time, which is four o clock in the morning, and saves a description of the rising sun, and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere.

To smile at the jest which plants a thorn in another's breast is to become a principal in the mischief.

There is not a passion so strongly rooted in the human heart as envy.

The surest way to fail is not to determine to succeed.

My valor is certainly going, it is sneaking off! I feel it oozing out as it were, at the palms of my hands!
