It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right. A mother understands what a child does not say. A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.
Nothing is more deceitful than the appearance of humility.
It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast. Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living. Hope for the best, expect the worst. Life is a play. About all you can do in life is be who you are.
