There is one kind of laugh that I always did recommend; it looks out of the eye first with a merry twinkle, then it creeps down on its hands and knees and plays around the mouth like a pretty moth around the blaze of a candle, then it steals over into the dimples of the cheeks and rides around in those whirlpools for a while, then it lights up the whole face like the mellow bloom on a damask rose, then it swims up on the air, with a peal as clear and as happy as a dinner-bell, then it goes back again on gold tiptoes like an angel out for an airing, and it lies down on its little bed of violets in the heart where it came from.

Other Robert Smith Surtees Quotes
Better be killed than frightened to death. He was a gentleman who was generally spoken of as having nothing a-year, paid quarterly. The only infallible rule we know is, that the man who is always talking about being a gentleman never is one. I can stand a waste of praise. He had a tremendous determination of words to the mouth. More people are flattered into virtue than bullied out of vice.
