Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life.

Men commonly think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and imbibed opinions, but generally act according to custom.

Custom is the principle magistrate of man's life

There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man's self.

A man that studieth revenge keeps his own wounds green.

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
