Additional quotes by Robert Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Earl of Lytton

Let any man show the world that he feels
Afraid of its bark and ’t will fly at his heels:
Let him fearlessly face it, ’t will leave him alone:
But ’t will fawn at his feet if he flings it a bone.

Whene'er I hear French spoken as I approve,
I feel myself quietly falling in love.

Life hath set
No landmarks before us.
