The things we remember best are those better forgotten.
Maturity is the slowness in which a man believes.
One who was abhorred by all in prosperity is adored by all in adversity.
The greatest service you can render someone else is helping him help himself.
You can cultivate taste, as you can the intellect. Full understanding whets the appetite and desire, and, later, sharpens the enjoyment of possession.
Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.
