Vanity calculates but poorly on the vanity of others; what a virtue we should distil from frailty, what a world of pain we should save our brethren, if we would suffer our own weakness to be the measure of theirs.

Dream manfully and nobly, and thy dreams shall be prophets.

But never yet the dog our country fed, Betrayed the kindness or forgot the bread.

Leave glory to great folks. Ah, castles in the air cost a vast deal to keep up!

When the world frowns, we can face it; but let it smile, and we are undone.

Time, O my friend, is money! Time wasted can never conduce to money well managed.

A good heart is better than all the heads in the world.
