We pardon familiar vices.
The part of life which we really live is short.
It is often better not to see an insult than to avenge it.
The great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet.
Our life's a moment and less than a moment, but even this mite nature has mockingly humored with some appearance of a longer span.
With parsimony a little is sufficient; without it nothing is sufficient; but frugality makes a poor man rich.
