1 " If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself ~ all that runs over will be yours. "
― Charles Caleb Colton
2 " Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away. "
3 " Times of great calamity and confusion have been productive for the greatest minds. The purest ore is produced from the hottest furnace. The brightest thunder-bolt is elicited from the darkest storm. "
4 " No company is preferable to bad. We are more apt to catch the vices of others than virtues, as disease is far more contagious than health. "
5 " Nachahmung ist die aufrichtigste Form der Schmeichelei. "
6 " A harmless hilarity and a buoyant cheerfulness are not infrequent concomitants of genius; and we are never more deceived than when we mistake gravity for greatness, solemnity for science, and pomposity for erudition. "
7 " True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost. "
