The man whom no one pleases is much more unhappy than the man who pleases no one.
As we grow older, we increase in folly--and in wisdom.
It requires greater virtues to support good fortune than bad.
A man's worth has its season, like fruit.
In the intercourse of life, we please more by our faults than by our good qualities.
If we have not peace within ourselves, it is in vain to seek it from outward sources.
