He that will not sail till all dangers are over must never put to sea. Good words cost no more than bad. If you have more than one true friend you have more than your share. No man can be happy without a friend, nor be sure of his friend until he is unhappy. Though love is blind, yet 'tis not for want of eyes. One that would have the fruit must climb the tree. It is more difficult to praise rightly than to blame. A gentleman ought to travel abroad, but dwell at home. All things are difficult before they are easy. An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men. |
