A man who is not a good friend to himself cannot be so to any one else.

Time is a trust, and for every minute of it you will have to account.

It always seems to be raining harder than it really is when you look at the weather through the window.

We profit little by books we do not enjoy.

Rest is by no means a waste of time.

If you have the least doubt about it, do not marry.

To render ourselves insensible to pain we must forfeit also the possibilities of happiness.
