HE reason we dislike vanity in others is because
it is perpetually hurting our own.

Lord Lytton's Pelham.

HEN nymphs had bluer eyes than hose,
England then measured men by blows,
And measured time by candles.

Frederick Locker, London Lyrics.

WOMAN'S choice usually means taking the only man she can get.

Mrs. Cadwallader, in George Eliot's Middlemarch.
