Look in the face of the person to whom you are speaking if you wish to know his real sentiments, for he can command his words more easily than his countenance

Words are the dress of thoughts; which should no more be presented in rags, tatters, and dirt than your person should

If he's getting the better of me, I couldn't wish it for a better person

Be wiser than other people, if you can, but do not tell them so.

Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than by their understandings.

Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness; no laziness; no procrastination; never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
