QUOTES AND IMAGES: MEMOIRS OF COUNT GRAMMONT

MEMOIRS OF COUNT GRAMMONT

By Anthony Hamilton

With notes by Sir Walter Scott

All day poring over his books, and went
to bed soon

Ambition to pass for a wit, only
established her tiresome

An affectation of purity of manners

As all fools are who have good memories

Better memory for injuries than for
benefits

Better to know nothing at all, than to
know too much

Better to partake with another than to
have nothing at all

Busy without consequence

By a strange perversion of language,
styled, all men of honour

Despising everything which was not
like themselves

Devote himself to his studies, than to
the duties of matrimony

Duke would see things if he could

Embellish the truth, in order to
enhance the wonder

Entreating pardon, and at the same time
justifying her conduct

Envy each other those indulgences which
themselves refuse

Every thing that is necessary is
honourable in politics

Four dozen of patches, at least, and
ten ringlets of hair

Good attendants, but understood
cheating still better

Great earnestness passed for business

Grew so fat and plump that it was a
blessing to see her

Hardly possible for a woman to have
less wit, or more beauty

He had no sentiments but such as others
inspired him with

He talked eternally, without saying
anything

He as little feared the Marquis as he
loved him

His mistress given him by his priests
for penance

How I must hate you, if I did not love
you to distraction

Impenetrable stupidity (passed) for
secrecy

Impertinent compliments

Life, in his opinion, was too short to
read all sorts of books

Long habit of suffering himself
