Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance
and without any visible reason.
-- Lord Chesterfield


As fathers commonly go, it is seldom a misfortune to be fatherless; and
considering the general run of sons, as seldom a misfortune to be childless.

The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless,
a separation.
-- Lord Chesterfield, letter to his son, 1763
