It is an undoubted truth, that the less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in. One yawns, one procrastinates, one can do it when one will, and therefore one seldom does it at all.

Man is more himself, man is more manlike, when joy is the fundamental thing in him, and grief the superficial.

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Business by no means forbids pleasures; on the contrary, they reciprocally season each other; and I will venture to affirm, that no man enjoys either in perfection that does not join both.

A gentleman has ease without familiarity, is respectful without meanness; genteel without affectation, insinuating without seeming art.

Hear one side and you will be in the dark. Hear both and all will be clear.

Manners must adorn knowledge and smooth its way through the world.
