Riches Seldom Make Their Owners Rich.

That We Must All Die, We Always Knew, I Wish I Had Sooner Remembred It.

Of A Thousand Shavers, Two Do Not Shave So Much Alike As Not To Be Distinguished.

Riches Are Of No Value In Themselves; Their Use Is Discovered Only In That Which They Procure.

I Fancy Mankind May Come, In Time, To Write All Aphoristically, Except In Narrative; Grow Weary Of Preparation, And Connection, And Illustration, And All Those Arts By Which A Big Book Is Made.

If You Are Idle, Be Not Solitary; If You Are Solitary Be Not Idle.
