There is always room for a person of force and they make room for many.

We are inclined to believe those whom we do not know because they have never deceived us.

The greatest meliorator of the world is selfish, huckstering Trade.

To every disadvantage there is a corresponding advantage.

Upon retiring, sleep as if you had entered your last sleep. Upon awakening, leave your bed behind you instantly as if you had cast away a pair of old shoes.

What really flatters a man is that you think him worth flattering.
