Airs of importance are the credentials of impotence.

Avoid him who from mere curiosity asks three questions running about a thing that cannot interest Him.

Be not the fourth friend of him who had three before and lost them.

He submits himself to be seen through a microscope, who suffers himself to be caught in a fit of passion.

Softness of smile indicates softness of character.

Neatness begets order; but from order to taste there is the same difference as from taste to genius, or from love to friendship.

Be certain that he who has betrayed thee once will betray thee again.
