The precepts of the law are these: to live honestly, to injure no one, and to give everyone else his due.
From Marcus Tullius Cicero
Our character is not so much the product of race and heredity as of those circumstances by which nature forms our habits, by which we are nurtured and live.
Thrift is of great revenue.
Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself.
According to the law of nature it is only fair that no one should become richer through damages and injuries suffered by another.
True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.
The countenance is the portrait of the soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.
Let us not listen to those who think we ought to be angry with our enemies, and who believe this to be great and manly. Nothing is so praiseworthy, nothing so clearly shows a great and noble soul, as clemency and readiness to forgive.
Nothing stands out so conspicuously, or remains so firmly fixed in the memory, as something which you have blundered.
No sane man will dance.
