There is a certain majesty in simplicity which is far above all the quaintness of wit.
The finest minds, like the finest metals, dissolve the easiest.
Love the offender, yet detest the offense.
Not always actions show the man; we find who does a kindness is not therefore kind.
We may see the small value God has for riches, by the people he gives them to.
Be silent always when you doubt your sense.
