It is the nature of the unfortunate to be spiteful, and to envy those who are well to do.

When you fly from temptation, don't leave a forwarding address. Where there's smoke there's fire.

If you want to do something, do it!

Good things soon find a purchaser.

Never speak ill of an absent friend.

I esteem death a trifle, if not caused by guilt.

Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.
