To A Heart Formed For Friendship And

To Be Sure, Marriage Is All In All With The Ladies; But With Us Gentlemen It's Quite Another Thing!

I Love And Honour [paulus Aemilius, In Plutarch's Lives], For His Fondness For His Children, Which Instead Of Blushing At, He Avows And Glories In: And That At An Age, When Almost All The Heros And Great Men Thought That To Make Their Children And Family A Secondary Concern, Was The First Proof Of Their Superiority And Greatness Of Soul.

No Man Is In Love When He Marries. He May Have Loved Before; I Have Even Heard He Has Sometimes Loved After: But At The Time Never. There Is Something In The Formalities Of The Matrimonial Preparations That Drive Away All The Little Cupidons.

Well Of All Things In The World, I Don't Suppose Anything Can Be So Dreadful As A Public Wedding--my Stars!--i Should Never Be Able To Support It!

The Spring Is Generally Fertile In New Acquaintances.
