Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment

The noblest part of a friend is an honest boldness in the notifying of errors. He that tells me of a fault, aiming at my good, I must think him wise and faithful--wise in spying that which I see not; faithful in a plain admonishment, not tainted with flattery.

The irresolute man flecks from one egg to another, so hatches nothing.

Gold is the fool's curtain, which hides all his defects from the world.

Every man should study conciseness in speaking; it is a sign of ignorance not to know that long speeches, though they may please the speaker, are the torture of the hearer.

Zeal without humanity is like a ship without a rudder, liable to be stranded at any moment

When two friends part they should lock up one another's secrets, and interchange their keys.
