If you have a grievance on your mind you may tell it to your friend, but first be sure that he is your friend.
Educate your Children properly.
An university implies a seminary, where all the young men go the same way. What that way is, fathers and grandfathers best know.

Obstinacy of temper proceeds from pride, and, in general, from ignorant pride, that refuses to be taught.
Regulate your Temper.
We can bear with a man who is only peevish when the wind is in the east; but it is intolerable to live with one who is peevish in every point of the compass.
True Generosity is delicately minded.
Blame no man for what he cannot help. We must not expect of the dial to tell us the hour after the sun is set.
