I recommend you to take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves.

The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation.

People will no more advance their civility to a bear, than their money to a bankrupt.

Pleasure is a necessary reciprocal. No one feels, who does not at the same time give it. To be pleased, one must please. What pleases you in others, will in general please them in you.

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.

Smooth your way to the head through the heart. The way of reason is a good one: but it is commonly something longer, and perhapsnot so sure.
