We are not men, but promises of men.
Better to deserve praise without having it, than to have it without deserving it.
What we know is to what we do not know, as a grain of sand is to the beach.
It needs as much generosity to take as to give.
Few can tell what they know without also showing what they do not know.
The small charity that comes from the heart is better than the great charity that comes from the head.
