The trade of advertising is now so near to perfection that it is not easy to propose any improvement.

Life is a pill which none of us can bear to swallow without gilding.

The business of life is to go forward.

Extended empires are like expanded gold, exchanging solid strength for feeble splendor.

They who most loudly clamour for liberty do not most liberally grant it.

The inevitable consequence of poverty is dependence.

Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause awhile from letters, to be wise.
