There is something so beautiful in trust that even the most hardened liar need feel a certain respect for those who confide in him.

Many think that when they have confessed a fault there is no need of correcting it.

Those who know nothing must believe everything.

To be satisfied with little is hard, to be satisfied with a lot is impossible.

Nothing is less promising than precocity. A young thistle is more like a future tree than is a young oak.

Most imitators attempt the inimitable.

Nothing is so irretrievably missed as an opportunity we encounter every day.
