As we grow older, we increase in folly--and in wisdom.
When our hatred is violent, it sinks us even beneath those we hate.
Sometimes in life situations develop that only the half-crazy can get out of.
Smallness of mind is the cause of stubbornness, and we do not credit readily what is beyond our view.
No one thinks fortune so blind as those she has been least kind to.
Whatever distrust we may have of the sincerity of those who converse with us, we always believe they will tell us more truth than they do to others.
