Quote

If you wish to be held in esteem, you must associate only with those who are esteemable

The first man gets the oyster, the second man gets the shell

We are valued in this world at the rate we desire to be valued

When a woman isn't beautiful, people always say, 'you have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair'

There's a woman like a dew-drop, she's so purer than the purest

True enthusiasm is a fine feeling whose flash I admire where-ever I see it
