A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.

Not a soul takes thought how well he may live- only how long: yet a good life might be everybody's, a long one can be nobody's.

There is none made so great, but he may both need the help and service, and stand in fear of the power and unkindness, even of the meanest of mortals.

The great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet.

He that does good to another does good also to himself.

Four things does a reckless man gain who covets his neighbor's wife - demerit, an uncomfortable bed, thirdly, punishment, and lastly, hell.

Philosophy is good advice, and no one gives good advice at the top of his lungs.
