More From Lord Chesterfield
- "In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it – thou art a fool."
- "In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody’s torments in this world or the next laid to my charge."
- "If ever a man and his wife, or a man and his mistress, who pass nights as well as days together, absolutely lay aside all good breeding, their intimacy will soon degenerate into a coarse familiarity, infallibly productive of contempt or disgust."

- "Life and death appeared to me ideal bounds, which I should first break through, and pour a torrent of light into our dark world."― Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
- "When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody’s face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home."― Robert De Niro
- "Pay mind to your own life, your own health, and wholeness. A bleeding heart is of no help to anyone if it bleeds to death."― Frederick Buechner
