While fools shun one set of faults they run into the opposite one.
A greater liar than the Parthians.
A man of refined taste and judgment.
Be brief, that the mind may catch thy precepts, and the more easily retain them.
Men more quickly and more gladly recall what they deride than what they approve and esteem.
Lighten grief with hopes of a brighter morrow; Temper joy, in fear of a change of fortune.
