Quotes
“They waste life in what are called good resolutions—partial efforts at reformation, feebly commenced, heartlessly conducted, and hopelessly concluded.”
p. 384 ‘Tis well to be merry and wise, / ‘Tis well to be honest and true; / ‘Tis well to be off with the old love, / Before you are on with the new.
Motto to "Bertram," produced at Drury Lane, 1816.
