Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than by their understandings.

Be wiser than other people, if you can, but do not tell them so.

Wear your learning, like a watch, in a private pocket: and do not pull it out and strike it, merely to show that you have one.

Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.

Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness; no laziness; no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Dispatch is the soul of business, and nothing contributes more to Dispatch than Method.
