God protects those he loves from worthless reading.

Loudness is impotence.

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

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

Who gives a trifle meanly is meaner than the trifle.

The more any one speaks of himself, the less he likes to hear another talked of.

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.
