A true friend is somebody who can make us do what we can. A laugh is worth 100 groans in any market. Be not simply good, but good for something. I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading. To kill time is, by definition, to murder it.
Punctuality is the stern virtue of men of business, and the graceful courtesy of princes.
As a cure for worrying, work is better than whiskey. Better an ugly face than an ugly mind. I am not what I have been. If you don't watch your figure, Men won't watch it either. He who knows himself best, esteems himself least.
