In spite of every sage whom Greece can show, Unerring wisdom never dwelt below; Folly in all of every age we see, The only difference lies in the degree.

The wisest man is generally he who thinks himself the least so.

Ignorance is always ready to admire itself. Procure yourself critical friends.

Everything that poverty touches becomes frightful.

Gold lends a touch of beauty even to the ugly.

Time flies and draws us with it. The moment in which I am speaking is already far from me.

Whatever we well understand we express clearly, and words flow with ease.
