Dispatch is the soul of business. - Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield

Let dull critics feed upon the carcasses of plays; give me the taste and the dressing.

The characteristic of a well-bred man is, to converse with his inferiors without insolence, and with his superiors with respect and with ease.

Cheerful with wisdom, with innocence gay, And calm with your joys gently glide thro' the day. The dews of the evening most carefully shun — Those tears of the sky for the loss of the sun.
