What men have seen they know. . . .

A man growing old becomes a child again.

Who feels no ills, should, therefore, fear them; and when fortune smiles, be doubly cautious, lest destruction come remorseless on him, and he fall unpitied.

More men come to doom through dirty profits than are kept by them.

Now I see that going out into the testing ground of men it is the tongue and not the deed that wins the day.

Knowledge must come through action. You can have no test which is not fanciful, save by trial.

Reverence does not die with mortals, nor does it perish whether they live or die.
