Every man has his devilish minutes.

He also has energy who cannot be deprived of it.

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

Receive no satisfaction for premeditated impertinence - forget it, forgive it - but keep him inexorably at a distance who of∣fered it.

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

Don't speak evil of someone if you don't know for certain, and if you do know ask yourself, why am I telling it?

He who seldom speaks, and with one calm well-timed word can strike dumb the loquacious, is a genius or a hero.
