Charles Caleb Colton said this quote

If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself ~ all that runs over will be yours.

~ Charles Caleb Colton

Men spend their lives in anticipations,—in determining to be vastly happy at some period when they have time. But the present time has one advantage over every other—it is our own. Past opportunities are gone, future have not come. We may lay in a stock of pleasures, as we would lay in a stock of wine; but if we defer the tasting of them too long, we shall find that both are soured by age.

~ Charles Caleb Colton

Much may be done in those little shreds and patches of time which every day produces, and which most men throw away.

~ Charles Caleb Colton

True friendship is like sound health, the value of it is seldom known until it be lost.

~ Charles Caleb Colton
