I wish the bald eagle had not been chosen as the representative of our country; he is a bird of bad moral character; like those among men who live by sharping and robbing, he is generally poor, and often very lousy. The turkey is a much more respectable bird, and withal a true original native of America.

Those disputing, contradicting, and confuting people are generally unfortunate in their affairs. They get victory, sometimes, but they never get good will, which would be of more use to them.

Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade?

Acquire Riches by Industry and Frugality.

Joy doesn't exist in the world, it exists in us.

The cat in gloves catches no mice.

Time is an herb that cures all Diseases.
