Important families are like potatoes. The best parts are underground.

Money is like muck, not good unless spread.

Boldness is ever blind, for it sees not dangers and inconveniences whence it is bad in council though good in execution.

There is no such flatterer as is a man's self.

I'm just trying to make images as accurately as possible off my nervous system as I can.

There are many wise men that have secret hearts and transparent countenances.
