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

He is incapable of a truly good action who finds not a pleasure in contemplating the good actions of others.

He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.

Action, looks, words, steps, form the alphabet by which you may spell character.

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

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

Let the degree of egotism be the measure of confidence.
