Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.

A crust eaten in peace is better than a banquet partaken in anxiety.

Little by little does the trick.

It is with our Passions, as it is with Fire and Water, they are 'Good Servants,' but 'Bad Masters.'

Gratitude is the sign of noble souls.

In critical moments even the very powerful have need of the weakest.

I will have nought to do with a man who can blow hot and cold with the same breath.
