Passion is always suffering, even when gratified.

Blessed is trust, for it blesses both those who have it to give and those who receive it.

Generosity, to be perfect, should always be accompanied by a dash of humor.

To have and not to give is often worse than to steal.

That bad manners are so prevalent in the world is the fault of good manners.

Authors from whom others steal should not complain, but rejoice. Where there is no game there are no poachers.

Many think they have a kind heart who have only weak nerves.
