A bad neighbor is a misfortune, as much as a good one is a great blessing.

Timeliness is best in all matters.

The man who does evil to another does evil to himself, and the evil counsel is most evil for him who counsels it.

If you speak evil, you will soon be worse spoken of.

If you add a little to a little and do this often, soon the little will become great.

Best is the man who thinks for himself.

I see no hope for the future of our people if they are dependent on the frivolous youth of today, for certainly all youth are reckless beyond words. When I was a boy, we were taught to be discrete and respectful of elders, but the present youth are exceedingly wise and impatient of restraint.
