| Idleness is the only refuge of weak minds, and the holiday of fools |

| If you can once engage people's pride, love, pity, ambition (or whatever is their prevailing passion) on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you. |
| If you will please people, you must please them in their own way |

| In seeking wisdom, thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it, thou art a fool |
