The heart can ne'er a transport know That never feels a pain.

Women, like princes, find few real friends.

It is very odd how completely unable so many men are to put themselves in the place of their own audience - so very unlike the old Duke of Devonshire, who yawned during his own maiden speech because, as he told somebody, 'It was so damned dull.'

I am interested to see how many young women share the illusion that a woman goes any faster when she runs than she does walking.
