It requires as much caution to tell the truth as to conceal it.

A bad manner spoils everything, even reason and justice; a good one supplies everything, gilds a No, sweetens a truth, and adds a touch of beauty to old age itself.

Quit while you're ahead. All the best gamblers do.

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
