The longer we dwell on our misfortunes, the greater is their power to harm us.

Trouble springs from idleness, and grievous toil from needless ease.

One man's ways may be as good as another's, but we all like our own best.

When in doubt, don't.

Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.
