Character Must Be Kept Bright As Well

There Is Not A More Prudent Maxim, Than To Live With One's Enemies As If They May One Day Become One's Friends; As It Commonly Happens, Sooner Or Later, In The Vicissitudes Of Political Affairs.

We Are, In Truth, More Than Half What We Are By Imitation.

Idleness Is Only The Refuge Of Weak Minds.

Most Maxim-mongers Have Preferred The Prettiness To The Justness Of A Thought, And The Turn To The Truth; But I Have Refused Myself To Everything That My Own Experience Did Not Justify And Confirm.

A Joker Is Near Akin To A Buffoon; And Neither Of Them Is The Least Related To Wit.
