Men should strive to think much and know little.
The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
To speak but little becomes a woman; and she is best adorned who is in plain attire.
The man enslaved to wealth can never be honest.
Everywhere man blames nature and fate yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passion, his mistakes and his weaknesses.
The person who can laugh with life has developed deep roots with confidence and faith-faith in oneself, in people and in the world, as contrasted to negative ideas with distrust and discouragement.
