Humor is the mistress of tears.
How can you make a fool perceive he is a fool? Such a personage can no more see his own folly than he can see his own ears.

Dinner was made for eatin, not for talkin: never pay compliments with your mouth full.
Despair is perfectly compatible with a good dinner, I promise you.
Business first; pleasure afterwards.
Bravery never goes out of fashion.
Almost all women will give a sympathizing hearing to men who are in love. Be they ever so old, they grow young again with that conversation, and renew their own early times.
A good laugh is sunshine in a house.
A clever, ugly man every now and then is successful with the ladies, but a handsome fool is irresistible.
