Tis by no means the least of life's rules: To let things alone.
Always leave something to wish for; otherwise you will be miserable from your very happiness.
The wise are always impatient, for he that increases knowledge increases impatience of folly.
Courtesy is the politic witchery of great personages.
Put yourself on view. This brings your talents to light.
Politeness and a sense of honor have this advantage: we bestow them on others without losing a thing.
