Never Speak Ill Of An Absent Friend.

Nothing But Heaven Itself Is Better Than A Friend Who Is Really A Friend.

And So It Happens Oft In Many Instances; More Good Is Done Without Our Knowledge Than By Us Intended. [lat., Itidemque Ut Saepe Jam In Multis Locis, Plus Insciens Quis Fecit Quam Prodens Boni.]

The Gods Confound The Man Who First Found Out How To Distinguish Hours! Confound Him, Too, Who In This Place Set Up A Sun-dial, To Cut And Hack My Days So Wretchedly Into Small Portions.

If I Can Only Keep My Good Name, I Shall Have Riches Enough.

If You Do Anything Well, Gratitude Is Lighter Than A Feather; If You Give Offense In Anything, People's Wrath Is As Heavy As Lead.
