There Is Nothing That People Bear More

Horse-play, Romping, Frequent And Loud Fits Of Laughter, Jokes, And Indiscriminate Familiarity, Will Sink Both Merit And Knowledge Into A Degree Of Contempt. They Compose At Most A Merry Fellow; And A Merry Fellow Was Never Yet A Respectable Man.

Keep Your Own Secret, And Get Out Other People's. Keep Your Own Temper, And Artfully Warm Other People's. Counterwork Your Rivalswith Diligence And Dexterity, But At The Same Time With The Utmost Personal Civility To Them: And Be Firm Without Heat.

Hear One Side And You Will Be In The Dark. Hear Both And All Will Be Clear.

He Makes People Pleased With Him By Making Them First Pleased With Themselves.

Wrongs Are Often Forgiven; But Contempt Never Is. Our Pride Remembers It Forever.
