To the generous mind the heaviest debt is that of gratitude, when it is not in our power to repay it.

Half the truth is often a great lie.

Take counsel in wine, but resolve afterwards in water.

Do not anticipate trouble, or worry about what may never happen. Keep in the sunlight.

Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly and, if you speak, speak accordingly.

Visit your Aunt, but not every Day; and call at your Brother's, but not every night.

Those who laugh often never grow old.
