An expensive spice added to burnt dinner is an useless waste.

It is not worth crying over what is not worthy of it. It is a waste of life, of soul.

I was made to learn Latin and Greek, but I resented it, being of opinion that it was silly to learn a language that was no longer spoken. I believe that all the little good I got from years of classical studies I could have got in adult life in a month.

Expensive clothes are a waste of money.

Be there next time happiness visits you.

Send me a whisper, but one so dim that only my soul could hear.
