A coward is much more exposed to quarrels than a man of spirit.

Always take hold of things by the smooth handle.

Do not bite at the bait of pleasure, till you know there is no hook beneath it.

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.

He who knows best knows how little he knows.

He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.

I believe that every human mind feels pleasure in doing good to another.

Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.

How much pain have cost us the evils that have never happened.

Honesty is the first chapter of the book of wisdom.
