Classical quotation is the parole of literary men all over the world.
The balls of sight are so formed, that one man's eyes are spectacles to another, to read his heart with.
Every old man complains of the growing depravity of the world, of the petulance and insolence of the rising generation.
No man should attempt to teach others what he has never learned himself
You hesitate to stab me with a word, and know not - silence is the sharper sword.
Do not ... hope wholly to reason away your troubles; do not feed them with attention, and they will die imperceptibly away. Fix your thoughts upon your business, fill your intervals with company, and sunshine will again break in upon your mind.
