Avoid Extremes; and shun the fault of such Who still are pleas'd too little or too much.
Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
A youth of frolic, an old age of cards.
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
Talk what you will of taste, my friend, you'll find two of a face as soon as of a mind.
But if you'll prosper, mark what I advise, Whom age, and long experience render wise.
