Good taste is the enemy of comedy.
That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
There are several good protections against temptations, but the surest is cowardice.
There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.
Set all things in their own peculiar place, and know that order is the greatest grace.
I despise the pleasure of pleasing people that I despise.
The scornful nostril and the high head gather not the odors that lie on the track of truth.
