Don't go to the doctor with every distemper, nor to the lawyer with every quarrel, nor to the pot for every thirst.
The best tranquilizer is a clear conscience.
Be in general virtuous, and you will be happy.
He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.
He is ill clothed that is bare of virtue.
As sore places meet most rubs, proud folks meet most affronts.
