I hate the French because they are all slaves and wear wooden shoes.

Gay, sprightly, land of mirth and social ease Pleased with thyself, whom all the world can please.

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.
