The mind profits by the wrecks of every passion.

Humor is the sunshine of the mind

A mind once cultivated will not lie fallow for half an hour

A fresh mind keeps the body fresh. Take in the ideas of the day, drain off those of yesterday. As to the morrow, time enough to consider it when it becomes today.

A fool flatters himself, a wise man flatters the fool.

Patience is the courage of the conqueror, the strength of man against destiny
