There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled.

To be at ease is better than to be at business. Nothing really belongs to us but time, which you have even if you have nothing else.

Nature scarcely ever gives us the very best; for that we must have recourse to art.

Keep expectation alive. Keep stirring it up. Let much promise more, and great deeds herald greater.

It is a great deed to leave nothing for tomorrow.

Trust your heart, especially when it is a strong one.

The more merit, the less affection.
