"Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket: and do not pull it out and strike it, merely to show that you have one."
"Learning is acquired by reading books; but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading man, and studying all the various editions of them."
"In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody's torments in this world or the next laid to my charge."
"The pleasure is momentary, the position rediculous, and the expense damnable."
"Vicious minds abound with anger and revenge are incapable of feeling the pleasure of forgiving their enemies."
