Hope is such a bait, it covers any hook.

Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.

I love everything that's old, - old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine

They say women and music should never be dated

The very pink of perfection.

Aromatic plants bestow no spicy fragrance while they grow; but crush'd or trodden to the ground, diffuse their balmy sweets around.
