Cheerful looks make every dish a feast, and it is that which crowns a welcome.

We have not an hour of life in which our pleasures relish not some pain, our sours, some sweetness.

To doubt is worse than to have lost; And to despair is but to antedate those miseries that must fall on us.

Revenge, that thirsty dropsy of our souls, makes us covet that which hurts us most.

Black detraction will find faults where they are not.

Ill news are swallow-winged, but what is good walks on crutches.

The over curious are not over wise.
