The test of good manners is to be patient with the bad ones.
I am better able to retract what I did not say than what I did.
Misfortune may become fortune through patience.
Your secret is your prisoner; once you reveal it, you become its slave.
All men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.
Plan for this world as if you expect to live forever; but plan for the hereafter as if you expect to die tomorrow.
