A wise man is never less alone than when he is alone

It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into

Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.

No man was ever so completely skilled in the conduct of life, as not to receive new information from age and experience.

Principally I hate and detest that animal called man; although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas, and so forth.

Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together; Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.
