» Advice » “No man is so foolish but he may sometimes give another good counsel, and no man so wise that he may not easily err if he takes no other counsel than his own. He that is taught only by himself has a fool for a master.”
» Age and Aging » “Talking is the disease of age.”
» Anxiety » “Cares that have entered once in the breast, will have whole possession of the rest.”
» Arts and Artists » “Art has an enemy called ignorance.”
» Force » “Force works on servile natures, not the free.”
» Hell » “There is no greater hell than to be a prisoner of fear.”
» Home » “Woman, the more careful she is about her face, the more careless about her house.”
» Language » “Language most shows a man, speak that I may see thee.”
» Money » “The covetous man never has money. The prodigal will have none shortly.”
» Newspapers » “I’ll give anything for a good copy now, be it true or false, so it be news.”
» Poetry and Poets » “A good poet’s made as well as born.”
