When desire dies, fear is born.
He that communicates his secret to another makes himself that other’s slave.
To be at ease is better than to be at business. Nothing really belongs to us but time, which even he has who has nothing else.
The things we remember best are those better forgotten.
Quit while you’re ahead. All the best gamblers do.
Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.
Never do anything when you are in a temper, for you will do everything wrong.
He that can live alone resembles the brute beast in nothing, the sage in much, and God in everything.
