Don't just count your years, make your years count.
George Meredith
A witty woman is a treasure; a witty beauty is a power.
Kissing don't last: cookery do!
Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul when hot for certainties in this our life!
Cynicism is intellectual dandyism.
Always imitate the behavior of the winners when you lose.
Memoirs are the backstairs of history.
Caricature is rough truth.
Who rises from prayer a better man, his prayer is answered.
A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are.
I expect Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.
There is nothing the body suffers the soul may not profit by.
She poured a little social sewage into his ears.
The most dire disaster in love is the death of imagination.
Speech is the small change of silence.
The well of true wit is truth itself.
Jealousy is love bed of burning snarl.
Possession without obligation to the object possessed approaches felicity.
Bring the army of the faithful through.
The man of science is nothing if not a poet gone wrong.
The man or country that fights priestcraft and priests is to my mind striking deeper for freedom than can be struck anywhere.
I expect that Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.
