Men are like wine,--not good before the lees of clownishness be settled.
Negligence is the rust of the soul that corrodes through all her best resolves.
There is no belittling worse than to over praise a man.
There is no one subsists by himself alone.
Praise has different effects, according to the mind it meets with; it makes a wise man modest, but a fool more arrogant, turning his weak brain giddy.
That man is but of the lower part of the world that is not brought up to business and affairs.
