There will never be a better time to start quitting smoking than today

Choose your pleasures for yourself, and do not let them be imposed upon you.

Keep your own secret, and get out other people's. Keep your own temper, and artfully warm other people's. Counterwork your rivalswith diligence and dexterity, but at the same time with the utmost personal civility to them: and be firm without heat.

The greatest dangers have their allurements, if the want of success is likely to be attended with a degree of glory. Middling dangers are horrid, when the loss of reputation is the inevitable consequence of ill success.

We are as often duped by diffidence as by confidence.

Swift speedy time, feathered with flying hours, Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
