So much for industry, my friends, and attention to one's own business; but to these we must add frugality if we would make our industry more certainly successful. A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not worth a grout at last.

He who gives up freedom for safety deserves neither.

All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.

Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.

Beauty and folly are old companions.

Do good to thy friend to keep him, to thy enemy to gain him.

Those who in quarrels interpose, must often wipe a bloody nose.
