Living requires but little life; doing requires much.

TIME and truth are friends, though there are many moments hostile to truth.

There is graciousness and a kind of urbanity in beginning with men by esteem and confidence. It proves, at least, that we have long lived in good company with others and with our selves.

The early and the latter part of human life are the best, or, at least, the most worthy of respect; the one as the age of innocence, the other of reason.

The best remedy for a short temper is a long walk.

No one is mediocre who has good sense and good sentiments.

If you would live happily, do not exaggerate life's evils, nor slight her blessings.
