What is more agreeable than one's home? I prefer tongue-tied knowledge to ignorant loquacity. Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without naturalability. Friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and the dividing of our grief. Never injure a friend, even in jest. By doubting we come at truth. A friend is, as it were, a second self. Leisure with dignity. Let arms yield to the toga, the laurel crown to praise. Never less idle than when wholly idle, nor less alone than when wholly alone. |
