I kant tell now which I admire least, an old coquett, or a young prude.

Misanthropy don't pay--thare aint no man living whoze hate the world

cares one cuss for.

Rash men ken be korrekted, but it dont pay to labour with a phool.

The man who haz never enjoyed the plezzure ov being forgiven, haz missed

one ov the greatest luxurys ov life.

I hav seen coquettry, that had no more malice in it, than a ewe lamb,

frisking on the green.

When i cum acrost a man who utters hiz opinyuns with immense

deliberashun, and after they are uttered they dont amount to ennything,

I write him down "misterious phool."
