No fools are so difficult to manage as those with some brains.

The only thing that should surprise us is that there are still some things that can surprise us.

Nothing is given so profusely as advice.

Often we are firm from weakness, and audacious from timidity.

That which makes the vanity of others unbearable to us is that which wounds our own.

Sometimes there is equal or more ability in knowing how to use good advice than there is in giving it.

There are few people more convinced of their own genius than those who complain of how stupid they are.
