He that speaks truth must have one foot in the stirrup. He that is of a merry heart has a continual feast. He alone is wise who can accommodate himself to all contingencies of life; but the fool contends, and struggles like a swimmer against the stream. Have old memories but young hopes. Happy is he whose friends were born before him. Govern a family as you would cook a small fish - very gently. Good men must die, but death cannot kill their names. Charm is more than just beauty. He who foretells the future lies, even if he tells the truth. A friend that you buy, will be bought from you. |
