You will never have a friend if
you must have one without failings.
To have what we want is riches,
but to be able to do without it is
power.
You may boast of your ancestry
but your actions demonstrate what
you are.
A mans own good breeding is his
best security against other peoples
ill manners.
Dishonesty is like a man with a
club foot-often makes good time,
hut is easily tracked,
There is no such thing as absolute
perfection, and no one need fear ever
becoming too well informed.
Do not make witticism at the ex-
pense of others which you would not
wish to have made upon yourselves.
