People who do not know how to laugh are always pompous and self-conceited.
From William Makepeace Thackeray
Kindnesses are easily forgotten; but injuries! what worthy man does not keep those in mind?
Good humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.
It is only hope which is real, and reality is a bitterness and a deceit.
If a secret history of books could be written, and the author's private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story, how many insipid volumes would become interesting, and dull tales excite the reader!
It is to the middle-class we must look for the safety of England.
