When a secret is revealed, it is the fault of the man who confided it.
A coxcomb is one whom simpletons believe to be a man of merit.
Days, months, years fly away, and irrecoverably sink in the abyss of time.
Too great carelessness, equally with excess in dress, multiplies the wrinkles of old age, and makes its decay still more conspicuous.
Eminent station makes great men more great, and little ones less.
How happy the station which every moment furnishes opportunities of doing good to thousands! How dangerous that which every moment exposes to the injuring of millions!
