Elegance is not an ornament worthy of man.
You are your choices.
The worse a person is the less he feels it.
Life is most delightful on the downward slope.
Dissembling profiteth nothing; a feigned countenance, and slightly forged externally, deceiveth but very few.
The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.
