No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.

It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.

It is strange that there should be so little reading in the world, and so much writing. People in general do not willingly read, if they can have any thing else to amuse them.

Domestic discord is not inevitably and fatally necessary; but yet it is not easy to avoid.

How few of his friends' houses would a man choose to be at when he is sick.

Such is the state of every age, every sex, and every condition: all have their cares, either from nature or from folly; and whoever, therefore, finds himself inclined to envy another, should remember that he knows not the real condition which he desires to obtain, but is certain that by indulging a vicious passion, he must lessen that happiness which he thinks already too sparingly bestowed.

What is easy is seldom excellent.
