Idleness is the Dead Sea that swallows all virtues. Be active in business, that temptation may miss her aim; the bird that sits is easily shot.
Don't halloo until you're out of the wood.
Most people die at 25 but are buried at 75.
Be neither silly, nor cunning, but wise
Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.
A perfect character might be attended with the inconvenience of being envied and hated; and that a benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself, to keep his friends in countenance.
