Most Men Remember Obligations, But Not Often

The Effect Of Character Is Always To Command Consideration. We Sport And Toy And Laugh With Men Or Women Who Have None, But We Never Confide In Them.

The Only True Source Of Politeness Is Consideration,--that Vigilant Moral Sense Which Never Loses Sight Of The Rights, The Claims, And The Sensibilities Of Others. This Is The One Quality, Over All Others, Necessary To Make A Gentleman.

Distinction Is An Eminence That Is Attained But Too Frequently At The Expense Of A Fireside.

Our Cares Are The Mothers, Not Only Of Our Charities And Virtues, But Of Our Best Joys And Most Cheering And Enduring Pleasures.

The Fool Is Willing To Pay For Anything But Wisdom. No Man Buys That Of Which He Supposes Himself To Have An Abundance Already.
