Be not too thick with anybody; your joys will be fewer, and so will pains.

He who is not in readiness to-day, will be less prepared to-morrow.

He says anything that first comes into his mouth.

Glory comes too late when we are nought but ashes.

Every epigram should resemble a bee; it should have sting, honey, and brevity.

Be cheerful, if you are wise.
