Don't speak evil of someone if you don't know for certain, and if you do know ask yourself, why am I telling it?
From Johann Kaspar Lavater
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Conscience is the sentinel of virtue.
Him, who incessantly laughs in the street, you may commonly hear grumbling in his closet.
Have you ever seen a pedant with a warm heart?
He submits to be seen through a microscope, who suffers himself to be caught in a fit of passion.
There are three classes of men; the retrograde, the stationary and the progressive.
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God, respect time.
Who makes quick use of the moment is a genius of prudence.
He who seldom speaks, and with one calm well-timed word can strike dumb the loquacious, is a genius or a hero.
