 We must form our minds by reading deep rather than wide.

 Where evil habits are once settled, they are more easily broken than mended.

 While we are examining into everything we sometimes find truth where we least expected it.

 While we are making up our minds as to when we shall begin. the opportunity is lost.

 Forbidden pleasures alone are loved immoderately; when lawful, they do not excite desire.
