Great spenders are bad lenders.

I have been apt to think that there has never been, nor ever will be, any such thing as a good war, or a bad peace.

All wars are follies, very expensive and very mischievous ones.

Trusting too much to others care is the ruin of many.

An Episcopalian divine once told the Pope that the only difference between their denominations was that "the Church of Rome is infallible and the Church of England is never in the wrong."

Revelation, indeed, as such had no influence on my mind

If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the philosopher's stone.
