A best-seller is the gilded tomb of a mediocre talent

There are few sorrows in which a good income is of no avail.

Only among people who think no evil can Evil monstrously flourish.

Only those who get into scrapes with their eyes open can find the safe way out.

Don't tell friends their social faults; they will cure the fault and never forgive you.

There are people whose society I find delicious; but when I sit alone and think of them I shudder.

How it infuriates a bigot, when he is forced to drag out his dark convictions!
