A true Friend is the best Possession. Be slow in chusing a Friend, slower in changing. If you have time, don't wait for Time. You may delay, but Time will not. Do not squander Time, for that's what Life is made of.
Death takes no bribes.
To bear other Peoples Afflictions, every one has Courage enough, and to spare. No Wood without Bark. They who have nothing to be troubled at, will be troubled at nothing. Many complain of their Memory, few of their Judgment. Most People return small Favours, acknowledge middling ones, and repay great ones with Ingratitude.
