Ignorance is innocence - stupidity comes with experience

Our bravest and best lessons are not learned through success, but through misadventure.

Heaven trims our lamps while we sleep.

The eyes have a property in things and territories not named in any title-deeds, and are the owners of our choicest possessions.

Our ideals are our better selves.

Friends are the leaders of the bosom, being more ourselves than we are, and we complement our affections in theirs.

Every sin provokes its punishment.
