Wisdom is not wisdom when it is derived from books alone.
Nothing is swifter than rumor.
Catch the opportunity while it lasts, and rely not on what the morrow may bring.
Where there are many beauties in a poem I shall not cavil at a few faults proceeding either from negligence or from the imperfection of our nature.
Those who cross the sea, change sky, but not soul.
Busy not yourself in looking forward to the events of to-morrow; but whatever may be those of the days Providence may yet assign you neglect not to turn them to advantage.
