Sell not virtue to purchase wealth, nor liberty to purchase power.
Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Speak ill of no man, but speak all the good you know of everybody.
The absent are never without fault, nor the present without excuse.
Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.
Tomorrow, every fault is to be amended; but that tomorrow never comes.
He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.
An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.
Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.
