With the author

A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.

Sydney Smith

Madam, I have been looking for a person who disliked gravy all my life; let us swear eternal friendship.

Sydney Smith

Science is his forte, and omniscience his foible.

Sydney Smith

Manners are like the shadows of virtues, they are the momentary display of those qualities which our fellow creatures love and respect.

Sydney Smith

A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.

Sydney Smith

Never talk for half a minute without pausing and giving others a chance to join in.

Sydney Smith

What a pity it is that we have no amusements in England but vice and religion!

Sydney Smith

Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.
