The English, the plain English, of the politest address of a gentleman to a lady is, I am now, dear Madam, your humble servant: Pray be so good as to let me be your Lord and Master.

Love will draw an elephant through a key-hole.

What we want to tell, we wish our friend to have curiosity to hear.

Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.

There is but one pride pardonable; that of being above doing a base or dishonorable action.

Those who can least bear a jest upon themselves, will be most diverted with one passed on others.

Where words are restrained, the eyes often talk a great deal.

All human excellence is but comparative. There may be persons who excel us, as much as we fancy we excel the meanest.

The mind can be but full. It will be as much filled with a small disagreeable occurrence, having no other, as with a large one.
