We are told truly that meekness and modesty are the rich and charming garments of the soul. The less showy our outward attire is, the more distinctly and brilliantly does the beauty of these inner garments shine.

Neither despise nor oppose what thou dost not understand.

Haste makes work which caution prevents.

Avoid popularity; it has many snares, and no real benefit.

He that has more Knowledge than Judgment, is made for another Man's use more than his own.

Avoid flatterers, for they are thieves in disguise.

Eat... to live, and do not live to eat.
