 No man was ever so completely skilled in the conduct of life, as not to receive new information from age and experience.

 No wise man ever wished to be younger.

 Nor do they trust their tongue alone, but speak a language of their own; can read a nod, a shrug, a look, far better than a printed book; convey a libel in a frown, and wink a reputation down.

 Nothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery. If you flatter all the company, you please none; If you flatter only one or two, you offend the rest.

 Nothing is so hard for those who abound in riches to conceive how others can be in want.

 Observation is an old man's memory.

 Old men and comets have been reverenced for the same reason: their long beards, and pretenses to foretell events

 One enemy can do more hurt than ten friends can do good.

 One of the very best rules of conversation is to never, say anything which any of the company wish had been left unsaid.

 Our passions are like convulsion fits, which, though they make us stronger for the time, leave us the weaker ever after

 Politics, as the word is commonly understood, are nothing but corruption.

 Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken.
