In these days half our diseases come from neglect of the body in overwork of the brain.

What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.

It is often the easiest move that completes the game. Fortune is like the lady whom a lover carried off from all his rivals by putting an additional lace upon his liveries.

What mankind wants is not talent; it is purpose.

If thou be industrious to procure wealth, be generous in the disposal of it. Man never is so happy as when he giveth happiness unto another.
