The true art of memory is the art of attention.

Of riches it is not necessary to write the praise. Let it, however, be remembered that he who has money to spare has it always in his power to benefit others, and of such power a good man must always be desirous.

The coquette has companions, indeed, but no lovers,--for love is respectful and timorous; and where among her followers will she find a husband?

The true effect of genuine politeness seems to be rather ease than pleasure.

Never speak of a man in his own presence. It is always indelicate, and may be offensive .

Just praise is only a debt, but flattery is a present.

Let him that desires to see others happy, make haste to give while his gift can be enjoyed, and remember that every moment of delay takes away something from the value of his benefaction.
