Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.
From Benjamin Disraeli
Plagiarists, at least, have the merit of preservation.
There is moderation even in excess.
The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end.
An author who speaks about their own books is almost as bad as a mother who speaks about her own children.
If a man be gloomy let him keep to himself. No one has the right to go croaking about society, or what is worse, looking as if he stifled grief.
If you're not very clever you should be conciliatory.
Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of grief the blunder of a life.
How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.
Colonies do not cease to be colonies because they are independent.
