When you doubt between words, use the plainest, the commonest, the most idiomatic. Eschew fine words as you would rouge; love simple ones as you would the native roses on your cheek.
Who makes quick use of the moment is a genius of prudence.
Good-humor is always a success.
Words are the wings of actions.
Loudness is impotence.
If you see one cold and vehement at the same time, set him down for a fanatic.
