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

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

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

I know of no sorrow greater than that occasioned by a delay of the post.

Why do we discover faults so much more readily than perfection.

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

Happiness, like misfortunes, never comes alone.
