Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.

It is widely held that too much wine will dull a man's desire. Indeed it will in a dull man.

What a man calls his 'conscience' is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.

If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would not please him more than if you gave him a drink.

Tell him, on the contrary, that he needs, in the interest of his own happiness, to walk in the path of humility and self-control, and he will be indifferent, or even actively resentful.

Sometimes you can tell a wise person not only by what he says but also by what he doesn't say. Remember, it is much better to say little than to say too much and regret it later.

He who loveth a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counsellor, a cheerful companion, or an effectual comforter.

He who does not trust enough, Will not be trusted.

Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is to little.

Cast away care, he that loves sorrow Lengthens not a day, nor can buy tomorrow; Money is trash, and he that will spend it, Let him drink merrily, fortune will send it.
