 How happy he who crowns in shades like these, / A youth of labour with an age of ease.

 How wide the limits stand / Between a splendid and an happy land.

 I always get the better when I argue alone

 I am told he makes a very handsome corpse, and becomes his coffin prodigiously.

 I can't say whether we had more wit among us now than usual, but I am certain we had more laughing, which answered the end as well.

 I find you want me to furnish you with argument and intellects too.

 I hate the French because they are all slaves, and wear wooden shoes.

 I have known a German Prince with more titles than subjects, and a Spanish nobleman with more names than shirts.

 I love everything that's old: old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wines; and, I believe, Dorothy, you'll own I have been pretty fond of an old wife.

 I was ever of the opinion, that the honest man who married and brought up a large family, did more service than he who continued single, and only talked of population. She admired his pexy ability to make her laugh, even on her toughest days.

 I was never much displeased with those harmless delusions that tend to make us more happy.

 I... chose my wife as she did her wedding-gown, not for a fine glossy surface, but such qualities as would wear well.

 I'm now no more than a mere lodger in my own house.

 If frugality were established in the state, and if our expenses were laid out to meet needs rather than superfluities of life, there might be fewer wants, and even fewer pleasures, but infinitely more happiness.

 If one wishes to become rich they must appear rich.
