When we reckon without Providence, we must frequently reckon twice.

if I inflict wounds, I heal them.

We must always live in hope; without that consolation there would be no living.

I fear nothing so much as a man who is witty all day long.

There are twelve hours in the day, and above fifty in the night.

The heart never becomes wrinkled.

I do not like to employ secretaries that have more wit than myself. I am afraid to make them write all my nonsense.
