"A willing heart adds feather to the heel."

"I wish I were with some of the wild people that run in the woods, and know nothing about accomplishments!"

"I have seen the day, when, if a man made himself ridiculous, the world would laugh at him. But now, everything that is mean, disgusting, and absurd, pleases them but so much the better!"

"Pampered vanity is a better thing perhaps than starved pride."
