The easiest thing for our friends to discover in us, and the hardest thing for us to discover in ourselves, is that we are growing old.
Experience increases our wisdom but doesn't reduce our follies.
Everyone who does the best he can is a hero.
Peace is the soft and holy shadow that virtue casts.
To enjoy a good reputation, give publicly, and steal privately.
There is no passion of the human heart that promises so much and pays so little as revenge.
