Charles Caleb Colton

"We owe almost all our knowledge not to those who have agreed but to those who have differed."

"If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself ~ all that runs over will be yours."

"Courage is generosity of the highest order for the brave are prodigal of the most precious things."

"Happiness, that grand mistress of the ceremonies in the dance of life, impels us through all its mazes and meanderings, but leads none of us by the same route."

"Ennui has made more gamblers than avarice more drunkards than thirst and perhaps as many suicides as despair."
