We drink one another's health and spoil our own.

I attribute the quarrelsome nature of the Middle Ages young men entirely to the want of the soothing weed.

I can see the humorous side of things and enjoy the fun when it comes but look where I will, there seems to me always more sadness than joy in life.

It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy. It is in our follies that we are one.

It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
