Few people are modest enough to be estimated at their true worth.

Great men are sometimes so even in small things.

Indolence is the sleep of the mind.

We must expect everything and fear everything from time and from men.

None are more liable to mistakes than those who act only on second thoughts.

The fruit derived from labor is the sweetest of pleasures.
