The world is full of fools and faint hearts; and yet everyone has courage enough to bear the misfortunes, and wisdom enough to manage the affairs, of his neighbor.

Poverty wants some things, Luxury many things, Avarice all things

Let the child's first lesson be obedience, and the second will be what thou wilt.

If you want to be loved, love and be loveable.

Write your injuries in dust, your benefits in marble.

If you would keep your secret from an enemy, tell it not to a friend.

There is no such thing as a good war or a bad peace.
