One half of the world can not understand the pleasures of the other.

• Where any one body of educated men, of whatever denomination, are condemned indiscriminately, there must be a deficiency of information, or...of something else.
• It will, I believe, be everywhere found, that as the clergy are, or are not what they ought to be, so are the rest of the nation.
• Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong.
• Why not seize the pleasure at once, how often is happiness destroyed by preparation, foolish preparations.
• Those who do not complain are never pitied.
• A large income is the best recipe for happiness I ever heard of.
• We met Dr. Hall in such deep mourning that either his mother, his wife, or himself must be dead.
• Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion.
• Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.
• It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.
