Conscience is the sentinel of virtue.

He can feel no little wants who is in pursuit of grandeur.

Depend on no man, on no friend but him who can depend on himself. He only who acts conscientiously toward himself, will act so toward others.

To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that ever loved or hated you.

Be not the fourth friend of him who had three before and lost them.

I am prejudiced in favor of him who, without impudence, can ask boldly. He has faith in humanity, and faith in himself. No one who is not accustomed to giving grandly can ask nobly and with boldness.

You may depend upon it that he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good, and whose enemies are decidedly bad.

Trust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers.

Intuition is the clear concept of the whole at once.

He knows very little of mankind who expects, by any facts or reasoning, to convince a determined party man.
