 Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming.

 Envy among other ingredients has a mixture of the love of justice in it. We are more angry at undeserved than at deserved good-fortune.

 Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!

 Every man, in his own opinion, forms an exception to the ordinary rules of morality.

 Every one in a crowd has the power to throw dirt: nine out of ten have the inclination

 Everything is in motion. Everything flows. Everything is vibrating.

 Fame is the inheritance not of the dead, but of the living. It is we who look back with lofty pride to the great names of antiquity.

 Fashion is gentility running away from vulgarity and afraid of being overtaken

 Few things tend more to alienate friendship than a want of punctuality in our engagements. I have known the breach of a promise to dine or sup to break up more than one intimacy.

 First impressions are often the truest, as we find (not infrequently) to our cost, when we have been wheedled out of them by plausible professions or studied actions. A man's look is the work of years; it is stamped on his countenance by the events of his whole life, nay, more, by the hand of nature, and it is not to be got rid of easily.

 Gallantry to women - the sure road to their favor - is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and wishes, a delight in their satisfaction, and a confidence in yourself as being able to contribute toward it

 General principles are not the less true or important because from their nature they elude immediate observation; they are like the air, which is not the less necessary because we neither see nor feel it.

 Genius is a native to the soil where it grows - is fed by the air, and warmed by the sun; and is not a hothouse plant or an exotic

 Genius, like humanity, rusts for the want of use

 Give me the clear blue sky above my head, and the green turf beneath my feet, a winding road before me, and a three hours' march to dinner - and then to thinking! It is hard if I cannot start some game on these lone heaths.
