Maxims are to the intellect what laws are to actions; they do not enlighten, but they guide and direct, and, although themselves blind, are protective.
Living requires but little life; doing requires much.

Politeness smooths wrinkles.
The joy which is caused by truth and noble thoughts shows itself in the words by which they are expressed.
Who ever has no fixed opinions has no constant feelings.
