The foolish moments of the head are often the most wonderful times of the heart.

The censure of those who are opposed to us, is the highest commendation that can be given us.

Nothing is more usual than the sight of old people who yearn for retirement: and nothing is so rare than those who have retired and do not regret it

Too austere a philosophy makes few wise men; too rigorous politics, few good subjects; too hard a religion, few persons whose devotion is of long continuance.

Nothing is more usual than the sight of old people who yearn for retirement: and nothing is so rare than those who have retired and do not regret it

There is a wisdom of the head, and a wisdom of the heart.
