Reflection makes men cowards.
From William Hazlitt
To think ill of mankind and not wish ill to them, is perhaps the highest wisdom and virtue.
Cunning is the art of concealing our own defects, and discovering other people's weaknesses.
The art of life is to know how to enjoy a little and to endure very much.
Zeal will do more than knowledge.
The mind of man is like a clock that is always running down, and requires to be constantly wound up.
There is nothing good to be had in the country, or if there is, they will not let you have it.
We find many things to which the prohibition of them constitutes the only temptation.
The soul of a journey is liberty, perfect liberty, to think, feel, do just as one pleases.
He who undervalues himself is justly undervalued by others.
