Man is a gaming animal. He must always be trying to get the better in something or other.

A man can preach no better than he prays.

Man, while he loves, is never quite depraved

I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.

I hate a man who swallows it [his food], affecting not to know what he is eating. I suspect his taste in higher matters.

You can always get better. Nobody can stop you from getting better, and nobody can stop you from trying to make something right.
