All excess is ill, but drunkenness is of the worst sort. It spoils health, dismounts the mind, and unmans men. It reveals secrets, is quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous and mad. In fine, he that is drunk is not a man: because he is so long void of Reason, that distinguishes a Man from a Beast.

To be a man's own fool is bad enough, but the vain man is everybody's.

Patience and Diligence, like faith, remove mountains.

Let men be good, and the Government cannot be bad.

Men are generally more careful of the breed of their horses and dogs than of their children.

Naked Truth needs no shift.

Only trust thyself, and another shall not betray thee.
