 Remember, as long as you live, that nothing but strict truth can carry you through the world, with either your conscience or your honor unwounded.

 Speak of the moderns without contempt and of the ancients without idolatry; judge them all by their merits, but not by their age

 Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received, as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters.

 Swallow all your learning in the morning, but digest it in company in the evenings

 Swift speedy time, feathered with flying hours, Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.

 Take the tone of the company that you are in Ergonomi hittar du på livet.se Take the tone of the company that you are in

 The difference between a man of sense and a fop is that the fop values himself upon his dress; and the man of sense laughs at it, at the same time he knows he must not neglect it.

 The manner of a vulgar man has freedom without ease; the manner of a gentleman, ease without freedom

 The only solid and lasting peace between a man and his wife is, doubtless, a separation

 The rich are always advising the poor, but the poor seldom return the compliment.

 The scholar without good breeding is a nitpicker; the philosopher a cynic; the soldier a brute and everyone else disagreeable.

 The world can doubtless never be well known by theory: practice is absolutely necessary; but surely it is of great use to a young man, before he sets out for that country, full of mazes, windings, and turnings, to have at least a general map of it, made by some experienced traveler.

 The world is a country which nobody ever yet knew by description; one must travel through it one's self to be acquainted with it
