\n

Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every New Year find you a better man.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Diligence is the mother of good luck.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Love your enemies, for they tell you your faults.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

He that would live in peace and at ease, must not speak all he knows or judge all he sees.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Great beauty, great strength, and great riches are really and truly of no great use; a right heart exceeds all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

The sting of a reproach, is the truth of it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Beware of little expenses: A small leak will sink a great ship.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Hide not your talents, they for use were made: What\u2019s a sun-dial in the shade?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Do you love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Well done is better than well said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Glass, china, and reputation, are easily crack\u2019d, and never well mended.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

He that lies down with Dogs, shall rise up with fleas.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Genius without education is like silver in the mine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

If man could have half his wishes, he would double his troubles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

The poor have little, beggars none, the rich too much, enough not one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Don\u2019t throw stones at your neighbors, if your own windows are glass.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

A true friend is the best possession.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Wish not so much to live long as to live well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
