A liar should have a good memory.
When defeat is inevitable, it is wisest to yield.
Give me the boy who rouses when he is praised, who profits when he is encouraged and who cries when he is defeated. Such a boy will be fired by ambition; he will be stung by reproach, and animated by preference; never shall I apprehend any bad consequences from idleness in such a boy.
In almost everything, experience is more valuable than precept.
We must form our minds by reading deep rather than wide.
Let us never adopt the maxim, Rather lose our friend than our jest.
