Good sense is both the first principal and the parent source of good writing.
He will always be a slave who does not know how to live upon a little.
Happy he who far from business, like the primitive are of mortals, cultivates with his own oxen the fields of his fathers, free from all anxieties of gain.
The wolf attacks with his fang, the bull with his horn.
You may suppress natural propensities by force, but they will be certain to re-appear.
You must often make erasures if you mean to write what is worthy of being read a second time; and don't labor for the admiration of the crowd, but be content with a few choice readers.
