 In those days he was wiser than he is now - he used frequently to take my advice.

 Inferiority is what you enjoy in your best friends

 It is by vivacity and wit that man shines in company; but trite jokes and loud laughter reduce him to a buffoon

 It is commonly said that ridicule is the best test of truth; for that it will not stick where it is not just. I deny it. A truth learned in a certain light, and attacked in certain words, by men of wit and humor, may, and often doth, become ridiculous, at least so far, that the truth is only remembered and repeated for the sake of the ridicule.

 It must be owned, that the Graces do not seem to be natives of Great Britain; and I doubt, the best of us here have more of rough than polished diamond.

 Judgment is not upon all occasions required, but discretion always is

 Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it

 Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day.

 Let dull critics feed upon the carcasses of plays; give me the taste and the dressing

 Let them show me a cottage where there are not the same vices of which they accuse the courts.

 Let your enemies be disarmed by the gentleness of your manner, but at the same time let them feel, the steadiness of your resentment.

 Little, vicious minds abound with anger and revenge, and are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies.
