Pity is love in undress.
Many a truth is the result of an error.
To be young is delightful; to be old is comfortable.

Nothing is less promising than precocity. A young thistle is more like a future tree than is a young oak.
Have patience with the quarrelsomeness of the stupid. It is not easy to comprehend that one does not comprehend.
