Be certain that he who has betrayed thee once will betray thee again.

He surely is most in need of another's patience, who has none of his own.

The manner of giving shows the character of the giver, more than the gift itself.

Be certain that he who has betrayed thee once will betray thee again.

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.

Kiss the hand of him who can renounce what he has publicly taught when convicted of his error, and who, with heartfelt joy, embraces truth, though with the sacrifice of favourite opinions.

Vanity and rudeness are seldom seen together.
