I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine. You are you and I am I, and if by chance we find each other, then it is beautiful. If not, it can't be helped.

I have known him [Micawber] come home to supper with a flood of

quite out of use. To promise is most courtly and fashionable;
performance is a kind of will or testament which argues a great
sickness in his judgment that makes it.

figure of a lamb the feats of a lion. He hath indeed bettered
expectation than you must expect of me to tell you how.
