“A woman’s whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures.

—Washington Irving (1783–1859)
“My object all sublime
I shall achieve in time—
To let the punishment fit the crime—
The punishment fit the crime;”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“A Stander-by is often a better judge of the game than those that play.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
