The home is a tryst-the place where we retire and shut the world out.

In a state of nature, the weakest go to the wall; in a state of over-refinement, both the weak and the strong go to the gutter.

An ounce of performance is worth more than a pound of preachment.

If you can't answer a man's arguments, all is not lost; you can still call him vile names.

It is the weak man who urges compromise - never the strong man.

Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.

Time is an eternal guest that banquets on our ideals and bodies.
