A flattering painter, who made it his care To draw men as they ought to be, not as they are.

Paint me as I am. If you leave out the scars and wrinkles, I will not pay you a shilling.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine

They say women and music should never be dated

The very pink of perfection.

Aromatic plants bestow no spicy fragrance while they grow; but crush'd or trodden to the ground, diffuse their balmy sweets around.
