The busier we are the more leisure we have.
From William Hazlitt
The true barbarian is he who thinks everything barbarous but his own tastes and prejudices.
He will never have true friends who is afraid of making enemies.
A hypocrite despises those whom he deceives, but has no respect for himself. He would make a dupe of himself too, if he could.
It is not fit that every man should travel; it makes a wise man better, and a fool worse.
You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.
To give a reason for anything is to breed a doubt of it.
Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!
No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.
A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile can work wonders and accomplish miracles.
