There are souls in this world that
have the gift of finding joy everywhere.
The real happiness of life cannot be
bought with money, and the poor may
have it as well as the rich
Good manners are part of good
morals, and it is as much your duty AS
your interest to practice both.
Man and wife are like pair of scis-
sors SO long as they are together, but
they become daggers as soon as they are
disunited-
There is a medium between velocity
and torpidity- The Italians say it is not
necessary to be a stag, but one ought
not to be tortoise
Too much idleness fills up a mans
time much more completely and leaves
him less his own master than any sort
of employment whatever
In youth one is surprised that he knows
so much When he has reached matured
life, he is surprised that there are SO
many things that he doesn'r know.
