Poor fool! in whose petty estimation all things are little.
Patriotism corrupts history.
In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.

People always fancy that we must become old to become wise; but, in truth, as years advance, it is hard to keep ourselves as wise as we were.
A state of affairs which leads to daily vexation is not the right state.
