One great difference between a wise man and a fool is, the former only wishes for what he may possibly obtain; the latter desires impossibilities.
The wise man’s home is the universe.
Men will cease to be fools only when they cease to be men.
To speak but little becomes a woman; and she is best adorned who is in plain attire.
It is better to destroy one's own errors than those of others.
Our sins are more easily remembered than our good deeds.
