Interest works night and day in fair weather and in foul. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth.

No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.

If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.

Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles.

Do not give, as many rich men do, like a hen that lays her eggs ...and then cackles.

He is the happiest man who is engaged in a business which tasks the most faculties of his mind.
