MARRIAGE.--When a man of sense comes to marry, it is a companion whom he wants, and not an artist. It is not merely a creature who can paint, play, dress, and dance--it is a being who can comfort and console him.
BLUSHING.--Blushing in the male sex is too frequently and constantly regarded as a proof of guiltiness: it is a proof of sensibility and fear of disrepute, by whatever incident called forth; but except in so far as fear of being thought guilty is proof, it affords no proof of the existence of the object by the idea of which the apprehension is excited.--_Bentham._
Pride destroys all symmetry and grace, and affectation is a more terrible enemy to fine faces than the small pox.--_Hughes._
At twenty years of ago the will reigns, at thirty the wit, at forty the judgment.--_Grattan._
Authors in France seldom speak ill of each other, unless they have a personal pique. Authors in England seldom speak well of each other, unless they have a personal friendship.--_Pope._
