The greatest trust between man and man is the trust of giving counsel.

The lame man who keeps the right road outstrips the runner who takes the wrong one.

My praise shall be dedicated to the mind itself. The mind is the man, and the knowledge is the mind. A man is but what he knoweth. The mind is but an accident to knowledge, for knowledge is the double of that which is.

Friends are thieves of time.

Defer not charities till death; for certainly, if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man's than of his own.

There is nothing makes a man suspect much, more than to know little.

The fortune which nobody sees makes a person happy and unenvied.
