Character is very much a matter of health.

The worst deluded are the self-deluded.

Loss of sincerity is loss of vital power.

A sound discretion is not so much indicated by never making a mistake as by never repeating it.

Common sense, alas in spite of our educational institutions, is a rare commodity.

A good thought is indeed a great boon, for which God is to be first thanked; next he who is the first to utter it, and then, in a lesser, but still in a considerable degree, the friend who is the first to quote it to us. Whoever adopts and circulates a just thought, participates in the merit that originated it.

It is only an error of judgment to make a mistake, but it argues an infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered.
