The noblest question in the world is, What good may I do in it?
The masterpiece of man is to live to the purpose.
The nearest way to come at glory is to do that for conscience which we do for glory.
Do not do that which you would not have known.
Well done is better than well said.
Who has deceived thee so oft as thyself?
Search others for their virtues, thyself for thy vices.
He that can have patience, can have what he will.
After crosses and losses men grow humbler and wiser.
In a discreet man's mouth a public thing is private.
