The Obstinacy Of The Indolent And Weak

He Who Goes Round About In His Requests Wants Commonly More Than He Chooses To Appear To Want.

He, Who Cannot Forgive A Trespass Of Malice To His Enemy, Has Never Yet Tasted The Most Sublime Enjoyment Of Love.

When You Doubt Between Words, Use The Plainest, The Commonest, The Most Idiomatic. Eschew Fine Words As You Would Rouge; Love Simple Ones As You Would The Native Roses On Your Cheek.

Do Not Believe That A Book Is Good, If In Reading It Thou Dost Not Become More Contented With Thy Existence, If It Does Not Rouse Up In Thee Most Generous Feelings.

The Craftiest Trickery Are Too Short And Ragged A Cloak To Cover A Bad Heart.
