 The truly proud man is satisfied with his own good opinion, and does not seek to make converts to it. |
| The truly proud man knows neither superiors nor inferiors. The first he does not admit of; the last he does not concern himself about. |
| The vices are never so well employed as in combating one another |
| The way to get on in the world is to be neither more nor less wise, neither better nor worse than your neighbours. |
| The way to procure insults is to submit to them: a man meets with no more respect than he exacts. |
| The way to secure success, is to be more anxious about obtaining than about deserving it; the surest hindrance to it is to have too high a standard of refinement in our own minds, or too high an opinion of the discernment of the public. |
| The world has been doing little else but playing at make-believe all its lifetime. |
| The world judge of men by their ability in their professions, and we judge of ourselves by the same test; for it is on that on which our success in life depends |
| The worst old age is that of the mind. |
| The young are prodigal of life from a superabundance of it; the old are tenacious on the same score, because they have little left, and cannot enjoy even what remains of it. |
| The youth is better than the old age of friendship. |
| There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please --that is, as they please or displease us. |
| There are many who talk on from ignorance rather than from knowledge, and who find the former an inexhaustible fund of conversation |
| There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes! |
| There are no rules for friendship. It must be left to itself. We cannot force it any more than love. |
