We would rather see those to whom we do good, than those who do good to us.

There are some people who would never have fallen in love if they had not heard there was such a thing.

We have not strength enough to follow our reason so far as it would carry us.

We come altogether fresh and raw into the several stages of life, and often find ourselves without experience, despite our years.

As the great ones of this world are unable to bestow health of body or peace of mind, we always pay too high a price for any good they can do.

We often select envenomed praise which, by a reaction upon those we praise, shows faults we could not have shown by other means.

What is perfectly true is perfectly witty.
