Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.
From Francis Bacon
It is impossible to love and to be wise.
Friendship increases in visiting friends, but in visiting them seldom.

There is a wisdom in this beyond the rules of physic: a man's own observation what he finds good of and what he finds hurt of is the best physic to preserve health.
Judges must beware of hard constructions and strained inferences, for there is no worse torture than that of laws.
He that hath knowledge spareth his words.
People have discovered that they can fool the devil; but they can't fool the neighbors.
The correlative to loving our neighbors as ourselves is hating ourselves as we hate our neighbors.
Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.
