True friendship is like sound health, the value is seldom appreciated until it is lost. — Charles Caleb Colton. English cleric, writer and collector
If you would be known, and not know, vegetate in a village; If you would know, and not be known, live in a city.
Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness, or oppose with firmness.
The greatest friend of Truth is time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion Humility.
Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.
Men are born with two eyes, but only one tongue, in order that they should see twice as much as they say.
If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours.
