A mind once cultivated will not lie fallow for half an hour

The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion.

Humor is the sunshine of the mind

Whatever the number of a man's friends, there will be times in his life when he has one too few, but if he has only one enemy, he is lucky indeed if he has not one too many

A fresh mind keeps the body fresh. Take in the ideas of the day, drain off those of yesterday. As to the morrow, time enough to consider it when it becomes today.

What ever our wandering our happiness will always be found within a narrow compass, and in the middle of the objects more immediately within our reach.
