Whatever you teach, be brief; what is quickly said, the mind readily receives and faithfully retains, everything superfluous runs over as from a full vessel.
One Sallow does not make Summer.
A cup concealed in the dress is rarely honestly carried.
In my integrity I'll wrap me up.
Even virtue followed beyond reason's rule May stamp the just man knave, the sage a fool.
I abhor the profane rabble and keep them at a distance.
