Knowledge is the treasure of a wise man.

It is safer to learn than teach; and who conceals his opinion has nothing to answer for.

For as men in battle are continually in the way of shot, so we, in this world, are ever within the reach of Temptation.

Interest has the security, though not the virtue of a principle. As the world goes, it is the surest side; for men daily leave both relations and religion to follow it.

We are too apt to love praise, but not to deserve it.

Never chide with anger, but instruction.

A man, like a watch, is to be valued for his manner of going.
