 Here is the whole set! a character dead at every word.

 I had rather follow you to your grave than see you owe your life to any but a regular - bred physician

 I mean, the question actors most often get asked is how they can bear saying the same things over and over again, night after night, but God knows the answer to that is, don't we all anyway; might as well get paid for it.

 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.

 I wish sir, you would practice this without me. I can't stay dying here all night

 I would by no means wish a daughter of mine to be a progeny of learning; I don't think so much learning becomes a young woman: for instance, I would never let her meddle with Greek, or Hebrew, or algebra, or simony, or fluxions, or paradoxes, or such inflammatory branches of learning; nor will it be necessary for her to handle any of your mathematical, astronomical, diabolical instruments; but... I would send her, at nine years old, to a boarding-school, in order to learn a little ingenuity and artifice: then, sir, she would have a supercilious knowledge in accounts, and, as she grew up, I would have her instructed in geometry, that she might know something of the contagious countries: this is what I would have a woman know; and I don't think there is a superstitious article in it.

 I'm called away by particular business - but I leave my character behind me.

 If it is abuse, why one is always sure to hear of it from one damned good-natured friend or anoth

 Madam, a circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge; it blossoms through the year. And depend on it that they who are so fond of handling the leaves, will long for the fruit at last.

 Modesty is a quality in a lover more praised by the women than liked.

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

 Our ancestors are very good kind of folks; but they are the last people I should choose to have a visiting acquaintance with

 Pity those who nature abuses; never those who abuse nature.

 Remember that when you meet your antagonist, to do everything in a mild agreeable manner. Let your courage be keen, but, at the same time, as polished as your sword.

 Take care; you know I am compliance itself, when I am not thwarted! No one more easily led, when I have my own way; but don't put me in a frenzy.
