Wrongs are often forgiven; but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever.
Take the tone of the company you are in...
We are as often duped by diffidence as by confidence.
Physical ills are the taxes laid upon this wretched life; some are taxed higher, and some lower, but all pay something.
Every man is to be had one way or another and every woman almost anyway.
Real merit of any kind cannot long be concealed; it will be discovered, and nothing can depreciate it but a man exhibiting it himself. It may not always be rewarded as it ought; but it will always be known.
