Do pleasant things yourself, but unpleasant things through others.
Luck can be assisted. It is not all chance with the wise.
Every fool stands convinced; and everyone convinced is a fool. The faultier a person's judgement the firmer their convictions.
Passion colors all that it touches in its own hues.
Those who insist on the dignity of their office show they have not deserved it.
Hear, see, and be silent.
