He who purposely cheats his friend, would cheat his God

The prudent see only the difficulties, the bold only the advantages, of a great enterprise the hero sees both diminishes the former and makes the latter preponderate, and so conquers

Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre

He is incapable of a truly good action that finds not a pleasure in contemplating the actions of others

He who has no taste for order, will be often wrong in his judgment, and seldom considerate or conscientious in his actions

Call him wise whose actions, words, and steps are all a clear because to a clear why

You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.

Act well at the moment, and you have performed a good action to all eternity
