Who in the same given time can produce more than others has vigor; who can produce more and better, has talents; who can produce what none else can, has genius.
Be not the fourth friend of him who had three before and lost them.
The craftiest trickery are too short and ragged a cloak to cover a bad heart.
Action, looks, words, steps, form the alphabet by which you may spell character.
Depend on no man, on no friend but him who can depend on himself. He only who acts conscientiously toward himself, will act so toward others.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Conscience is the sentinel of virtue.
