 What a fine lesson is conveyed to the mind -- to take no note of time but by its benefits, to watch only for the smiles and neglect the frowns of fate, to compose our lives of bright and gentle moments, turning always to the sunny side of things, and letting the rest slip for our imaginations, unheeded or forgotten! How different from the common art of self-tormenting!

 What a sight for sore eyes that would be!

 What I mean by living to one's-self is living in the world, as in it, not of it: it is as if no one know there was such a person, and you wished no one to know it: it is to be a silent spectator of the mighty scene of things, not an object of attention or curiosity in it; to take a thoughtful, anxious interest in what is passing in the world, but not to feel the slightest inclination to make or meddle with it.

 Whatever interests, is interesting

 When a man is dead, they put money in his coffin, erect monuments to his memory, and celebrate the anniversary of his birthday in set speeches. Would they take any notice of him if he were living? No!

 When a person dies who does any one thing better than anyone else in the world, which so many others are trying to do well, it leaves a gap in society.

 When a thing ceases to be a subject of controversy, it ceases to be a subject of interest.

 When I am in the country I wish to vegetate like the country

 When I take up a work that I have read before (the oftener the better) I know what I have to expect. The satisfaction is not lessened by being anticipated.

 Who likes not his business, his business likes not him.

 Wit is the rarest quality to be met with among people of education, and the most common among the uneducated.

 Wit is the salt of conversation, not the food.

 Without the aid of prejudice and custom, I should not be able to find my way across the room

 Women have often more of what is called good sense then men. They have fewer pretensions; are less implicated in theories; and judge of objects more from their immediate and involuntary impression on the mind, and, therefore, more truly and naturally.

 Women never reason, and therefore they are (comparatively) seldom wrong.
