1. Coquetry whets the appetite; flirtation depraves it. Coquetry is the thorn that guards the rose-easily trimmed off when once plucked. Flirtation is like the slime on water-plants, making them hard to handle, and when caught, only to be cherished in slimy waters.

2. Hard, withering toil only can achieve a name; and long days and months and years must be passed in the chase of that bubble, reputation, which, when once grasped, breaks in your eager clutch into a hundred lesser bubbles, that soar above you still.

3. The Spaniards have a saying that there is no man whom Fortune does not visit at least once in his life.
