We Are All Mortals, And Each Is

I Maintain, In Truth, That With A Smile We Should Instruct Our Youth, Be Very Gentle When We Have To Blame, And Not Put Them In Fear Of Virtue's Name.

It May Cost Me Twenty Thousand Francs; But For Twenty Thousand Francs, I Will Have The Right To Rail Against The Iniquity Of Humanity, And To Devote To It My Eternal Hatred.

Unbroken Happiness Is A Bore: It Should Have Ups And Downs.

Birth Is Nothing Without Virtue, And We Have No Claim To Share In The Glory Of Our Ancestors Unless We Endeavor To Resemble Them.

Stay Awhile That We May Make An End The Sooner.
