The proportion of genius to the vulgar is like one to a million.

To realize that you were mistaken, is just the acknowledgement , that you are wiser today than you were yesterday.

A fop of fashion is the mercer's friend, the tailor's fool, and his own foe.

Conscience is wiser than science.

She whom smiles and tears make equally lovely may command all hearts.

Depend on no man, on no friend but him who can depend on himself. He only who acts conscientiously toward himself, will act so toward others.

And still, laughter is akin to weeping.
