I would fain coin wisdom,โmould it, I mean, into maxims, proverbs, sentences, that can easily be retained and transmitted. Would that I could denounce and banish from the language of menโas base moneyโthe words by which they cheat and are cheated!
Joseph JoubertThere 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.
