A man who suffers or stresses before it is necessary, suffers more than is necessary

He is not guilty who is not guilty of his own free will.

No one can long hide behind a mask; the pretense soon lapses into the true character.

Why do I not seek some real good; one which I could feel, not one which I could display?

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

True friends are the whole world to one another; and he that is a friend to himself is also a friend to mankind. Even in my studies the greatest delight I take is of imparting it to others; for there is no relish to me in the possessing of anything without a partner.

He who would do great things should not attempt them all alone.
