My advice to those who are about to begin, in earnest, the journey of life, is to take their heart in one hand and a club in the other.

Human happiness konsists in having what yu want, and wanting what yu have.

As long as we are lucky we attribute it to our smartness; our bad luck we give the gods credit for.

We are ap tu hate them, who wont take our advice, and despise them who do.
