“Don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today.”

Reading makes a full man, meditation a profound man, discourse a clear man.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one on a rainy day who doesn’t know how to read.

An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

Joy is not in things, it is in us.

Contentment makes poor men rich, Discontent makes rich men poor.

Fools make feasts and wise men eat them.

Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is really selling himself to it.

There was never a bad peace or a good war.

Never leave till tomorrow that which you can do today.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Work as if you were to live a thousand years, play as if you were to die tomorrow.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Eat to live, don’t live to eat.

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame.
