The First Blow Is Half The Battle.

All The Bloomy Flush Of Life Is Fled.

And What Is Friendship But A Name, A Charm That Lulls To Sleep, A Shade That Follows Wealth Or Fame, And Leaves The Wretch To Weep?

There Is A Greatness In Being Generous, And There Is Only Simple Justice In Satisfying Creditors. Generosity Is The Part Of The Soul Raised Above The Vulgar.

Every Absurdity Has A Champion To Defend It.

Prudery Is Ignorance.
