Going To The Opera, Like Getting Drunk,

Luxury And Dissipation, Soft And Gentle As Their Approaches Are, And Silently As They Throw Their Silken Chains About The Heart, Enslave It More Than The Most Active And Turbulent Vices

Parents Are Too Apt To Mistake Inclination For Genius.

The World Does Not Require So Much To Be Informed As To Be Reminded.

The Ingenuity Of Self-deception Is Inexhaustible.

We Live In An Age Which Must Be Amused, Though Genius, Feeling, Trust, And Principle Be The Sacrifice.
