It may be made a question whether men grow wiser as they grow older, anymore than they grow stronger or healthier or honest.
The more you do, the more you can do.
The most learned are often the most narrow minded.
The chain of habit coils itself around the heart like a serpent, to gnaw and stifle it.
The art of pleasing consists in being pleased.
We are not satisfied to be right, unless we can prove others to be quite wrong.
