We have more days to live through than pleasures. Be slow in enjoyment, quick at work, for men see work ended with pleasure, pleasure ended with regret.
Harness the imagination, for she is the whole of happiness.
Words are feminine; deeds are masculine.
There is no beauty unaided, no excellence that does not sink to the barbarous, unless saved by art.
Knowledge without wisdom is double folly.
Work is the price which is paid for reputation.
