He who sedulously attends, pointedly asks, calmly speaks, coolly answers and ceases when he has no more to say is in possession of some of the best requisites of man

You may depend upon it that he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good, and whose enemies are decidedly bad.

God protects those he loves from worthless reading.

Each particle of matter is an immensity, each leaf a world, each insect an inexplicable compendium.

He who goes round about in his requests wants commonly more than he chooses to appear to want.

The worst of faces still is human.

True love, like the eye, can bear no flaw.
