Men are only clever at shifting blame from their own shoulders to those of others.
In grave difficulties, and with little hope, the boldest measures are the safest.
Favor and honor sometimes fall more fitly on those who do not desire them.
Better late than never.
Friends should be judged by their acts, not their words.
I have often heard that the outstanding man is he who thinks deeply about a problem, and the next is he who listens carefully to advice.
