Folk rhyme
Marry on Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for crosses, Friday for losses, and Saturday for no luck at all.
Charlotte Bronte
The human heart has hidden treasures, in secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, whose charms were broken if revealed. - Charlotte Bronte, "Evening Solace"

- Who am I?
Upon a barren rock she lick her golden paw. She thought she was so fierce, she flexed her mighty jaw. The coming of the brush warned of the coming ghost. She leapt upon the sound and ate her airy host. I am a kitten!
Oscar Wilde
Yet each man kills the thing he loves, by each let this be heard, some do it with a bitter look, some with a flattering word. The coward does it with a kiss, the brave man with a sword!
