It is pleasant to observe how free the present age is in laying taxes on the next. "Future ages shall talk of this; they shall be famous to all posterity;" whereas their time and thoughts will be taken up about present things, as ours are now.
It is the talent of human nature to run from one extreme to another.
A pleasant companion is as good as a coach.
Books, the children of the brain.
Men are happy to be laughed at for their humor, but not for their folly.
A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.
