"Lawyers Are": The only civil delinquents whose judges must of necessity be chosen from (amongst) themselves.

The greatest and most amiable privilege which the rich enjoy over the poor is that which they exercise the least--the privilege of making others happy.

The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.

Constant success shows us but one side of the world. For as it surrounds us with friends who will tell us only our merits, so it silences those enemies from whom alone we can learn our defects.

To cure us of our immoderate love of gain, we should seriously consider how many goods there are that money will not purchase, and these the best; and how many evils there are that money will not remedy, and these the worst.

Our very best friends have a tincture of jealousy even in their friendship; and when they hear us praised by others, will ascribe it to sinister and interested motives if they can.

We may anticipate bliss, but who ever drank of that enchanted cup unalloved?
