To the discontented man no chair is easy.

Genius without education is like silver in the mine.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it from him.

After crosses and losses, men grow humbler and wiser.

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.

The things which hurt, instruct.

The eye of a master will do more work than both his hands.

A fat kitchen, a lean will.

Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.

I will speak ill of no man, not even in matters of truth; but rather excuse the faults I hear charged upon others, and upon proper occasion speak all the good I know of everybody.
