The true friend of truth and good loves them under all forms, but he loves them most under the most simple form.

He scatters enjoyment who can enjoy much.

Who makes quick use of the moment is a genius of prudence.

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.

He who, in questions of right, virtue, or duty, sets himself above all ridicule, is truly great, and shall laugh in the end with truer mirth than ever he was laughed at.

He who freely praises what he means to purchase, and he who enumerates the faults of what he means to sell, may set up a partnership with honesty.

He who can at all times sacrifice pleasure to duty approaches sublimity.
