All men are idolators, some of fame, others of self-interest, most of pleasure.

Many people who pretend to be very busy have the least to do.

Begin with another's to end with your own.

Let him that hath no power of patience retire within himself, though even there he will have to put up with himself.

Self-reflection is the school of wisdom.

All victories breed, and that over your superior is foolish or fatal.

Harness the imagination, for she is the whole of happiness.
