The over curious are not over wise.
To doubt is worse than to have lost; And to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.
We have not an hour of life in which our pleasures relish not some pain, our sours, some sweetness.
He that doth public good for multitudes, finds few are truly grateful
Cheerful looks make every dish a feast, and it is that which crowns a welcome.
Patience, the beggar's virtue, shall find no harbor here.
