In success be moderate. Humility makes great men twice honourable.
He who will not be counseled cannot be helped.
Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy.
Plough deep while sluggards sleep.
Let each new year find you a better person.
Whoever feels pain in hearing a good character of his neighbor, will feel a pleasure in the reverse. And those who despair to rise in distinction by their virtues, are happy if others can be depressed to a level of themselves.
