The stars have it not; the earth has it not; the sea has it not; and we men have the mockery and semblance of it only for our heaviest punishment.»
«No person who is well bred, kind and modest is ever offensively plain; all real deformity means want for manners or of heart.»
«It is advisable that a person know at least three things, where they are, where they are going, and what they had best do under the circumstances.»
