The poor dog, in life the firmest friend. The first to welcome, foremost to defend.
From Lord Byron
'Tis very certain the desire of life prolongs it.
He who is only just is cruel. Who on earth could live were all judged justly?
Folly loves the martyrdom of fame.
We are all selfish and I no more trust myself than others with a good motive.
Cervantes smiled Spain's chivalry away; A single laugh demolished the right arm Of his country.
I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure; men love in haste but they detest at leisure.
Though I love my country, I do not love my countrymen.
All farewells should be sudden, when forever.
