Life is a quarry, out of which we are to mold and chisel and complete a character.
From Samuel Butler
For truth is precious and divine, too rich a pearl for carnal swine.
The truest characters of ignorance are vanity and pride and arrogance.
Look before you leap for as you sow, ye are like to reap.
The seven deadly sins: Want of money, bad health, bad temper, chastity, family ties, knowing that you know things, and believing in the Christian religion.
There are more fools than knaves in the world, else the knaves would not have enough to live upon.
A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg.
Parents are the last people on earth who ought to have children.
Human life is as evanescent as the morning dew or a flash of lightning.
To himself everyone is immortal; he may know that he is going to die, but he can never know that he is dead.
