The Counsels Of Old Age Give Light

If Passion Sometimes Counsels Greater Boldness Than Does Reflection, It Gives More Strength To Execute It.

We Are Forced To Respect The Gifts Of Nature, Which Study And Fortune Cannot Give.

We Are Less Hurt By The Contempt Of Fools Than By The Lukewarm Approval Of Men Of Intelligence.

Great Men Undertake Great Things Because They Are Great; Fools, Because They Think Them Easy.

The Counsels Of The Old, Like The Winter Sun, Shine, But Give No Heat.
