With too much quickness ever to be taught; With too much thinking to have common thought.

She who ne'er answers till a husband cools, Or, if she rules him, never shows she rules; Charms by accepting, by submitting, sways, Yet has her humor most, when she obeys.

Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.

What Tully said of war may be applied to disputing: "It should be always so managed as to remember that the only true end of it is peace."

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.
