Man believes himself always greater than he is, and is esteemed less than he is worth.

Men's prejudices rest upon their character for the time being and cannot be overcome, as being part and parcel of themselves. Neither evidence nor common sense nor reason has the slightest influence upon them.

Beware of dissipating your powers; strive constantly to concentrate them.

Time itself is an element.

Don't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences

To like things like, whatever one may ail; There is certain help.

Great possessions and great want of them are both strong temptations.
