A hungry wolf at all the herd will run, In hopes, through many, to make sure of one.
From William Congreve
Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing.
Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.
Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear.
He who closes his ears to the views of others shows little confidence in the integrity of his own views.
'Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.
There is in true beauty, as in courage, something which narrow souls cannot dare to admire.
She likes herself, yet others hates, For that which in herself she prizes; And while she laughs at them, forgets She is the thing that she despises.
If this be not love, it is madness, and then it is pardonable.
