A pessimist and an optimist, so much the worse; so much the better.

The fastidious are unfortunate; nothing satisfies them.

The more wary you are of danger, the more likely you are to meet it.

To hell with pleasure that's haunted by fear.

Let us not overstrain our talents, lest we do nothing gracefully.

Beware, so long as you live, of judging men by their outward appearance.

Let ignorance talk as it will, learning has its value.
