Wisdom Is The Repose Of The Mind.

The Less You Can Enjoy, The Poorer, The Scantier Yourself - The More You Can Enjoy, The Richer, The More Vigorous.

Trust Him Not With Your Secrets, Who, When Left Alone In Your Room, Turns Over Your Papers.

The Proportion Of Genius To The Vulgar Is Like One To A Million.

Avoid Connecting Yourself With Characters Whose Good And Bad Sides Are Unmixed And Have Not Fermented Together; They Resemble Vials Of Vinegar And Oil; Or Palletts Set With Colors; They Are Either Excellent At Home And Insufferable Abroad, Or Intolerable Within Doors And Excellent In Public; They Are Unfit For Friendship, Merely Because Their Stamina, Their Ingredients Of Character Are Too Single, Too Much Apart; Let Them Be Finely Ground Up With Each Other, And They Are Incomparable.

Neither Refinement Nor Delicacy Is Indispensable To Produce Elegance.
