I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself. [Mr. Lockwood, in "Wuthering Heights"]

Vain are the thousand creeds
That move men's hearts, unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds,
Or idlest froth amid the boundless main.

Proud people breed sad sorrows for themselves. [Nelly, in "Wuthering Heights"]

A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.

Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.
