Hope is a great falsifier. Let good judgment keep her in check.

The passions are the humors of the mind, and the least excess sickens our judgment. If the disease spreads to the mouth, your reputation will be in danger.

Quit while you're ahead. All the best gamblers do.

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.

Never have a companion that casts you in the shade.

Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
