He who puts off nothing till tomorrow has done a great deal.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
There is no wilderness like a life without friends.
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island... to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.
Words are feminine; deeds are masculine.
Everything foreign is respected, partly because it comes from afar, partly because it is ready made and perfect.
