Vanity and rudeness are seldom seen together.

Injustice arises either from precipitation, or indolence, or from a mixture of both. - The rapid and slow are seldom just; the unjust wait either not at all, or wait too long.

Vociferation and calmness of character seldom meet in the same person.

Receive no satisfaction for premeditated impertinence - forget it, forgive it - but keep him inexorably at a distance who of∣fered it.

It is a poor wit who lives by borrowing the words, decisions, mien, inventions and actions of others.

Who partakes in another's joys is a more humane character than he who partakes in his griefs.

He who seeks to imbitter innocent pleasure has a cancer in his heart.
