"Light vanity, insatiate cormorant, Consuming means, soon..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Steed threatens steed, in high and boastful neighs Piercing the night's dull ear; and from the tents The armorers accomplishing the knights, With busy hammers closing rivets up, Give dreadful note of preparation.”

“O, spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou!”

“And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.”

“It is very often nothing but our own vanity that deceives us. Women fancy admiration means more than it does. And men take care that they should.”

“What makes vanity so insufferable to us, is that it hurts our own.”

“Our self-love can less bear to have our tastes than our opinions condemned.”

“You told me you had destroyed it." "I was wrong. It has destroyed me.”

“All the armies of Europe combined could not by force make a track upon the Blue Ridge, or take a drink from the Ohio. If we are to be destroyed, we must do it ourselves.”

“Sadly, sadly, the sun rose; it rose upon no sadder sight than the man of good abilities and good emotions, incapable of their directed exercise, incapable of his own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight on him, and resigning himself to let it eat him away.”
