Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place.

I live on good soup, not on fine words.

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.

The genuine Amphitryon is the Amphitryon with whom we dine.

Perfect good sense shuns all extremity, content to couple wisdom with sobriety.

People are all alike in their promises. It is only in their deeds that they differ.

A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
