An obstinate man does not hold opinions-they hold him. It is far better to know our own weaknesses and failings than to point out those of others. May the Clock, the Candle, may everything I see, teach and instruct me something. Fear not those who argue but those who dodge. Usually our criticism of others is not because they have faults, but because their faults are different from ours.
Nothing needs reforming so much as other people's habits.
He is rich who owes nothing. Opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, so most people don't recognize them. If I can stop one heart from breaking I shall not live in vain. When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. Expenditure always rises to meet income.
