William Makepeace Thackeray Quotes

Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children. ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice. ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray A woman with fair opportunities, and without an absolute hump, may marry whom she likes. ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray "No, you are not worthy of the love which I have devoted to you. I knew all along that the prize I had set my life on was not worth the winning; that I was a fool, with fond fancies, too, bartering away my all of truth and ardour against your little feeble remnant of love. I will bargain no more: I withdraw." ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
