It is the act of a bad man to deceive by falsehood.

There is no one who can give you wiser advice than you can give yourself: you will never make a slip, if you listen to your own heart.

These studies are a spur to the young, a delight to the old: an ornament in prosperity, a consoling refuge in adversity; they are pleasure for us at home, and no burden abroad; they stay up with us at night, they accompany us when we travel, they are with us in our country visits.

If the soul has food for study and learning, nothing is more delightful than an old age of leisure.

We are not born, we do not live for ourselves alone; our country, our friends, have a share in us.

Though silence is not necessarily an admission, it is not a denial, either.
