Absence -- that common cure of love.

Bragging

Mere flimflam stories, and nothing but shams and lies.

Causes

Take away the cause, and the effect ceases.

Caution

Be slow of tongue and quick of eye.

Courage

He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.

Death and Dying

Well, there's a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other.

Discipline

No padlocks, bolts, or bars can secure a maiden better than her own reserve.

Fear

Fear has many eyes and can see things underground.

Future

By the street of by-and-by, one arrives at the house of never.

God

Though God's attributes are equal, yet his mercy is more attractive and pleasing in our eyes than his justice.

History and Historians

For historians ought to be precise, truthful, and quite unprejudiced, and neither interest nor fear, hatred nor affection, should cause them to swerve from the path of truth, whose mother is history, the rival of time, the depository of great actions, the witness of what is past, the example and instruction of the present, the monitor of the future.

Humankind

Everyone is as God made him, and often a great deal worse.

Jest

Jests that give pains are no jests.

Kindness

Fair and softly goes far.

Learning

For a man to attain to an eminent degree in learning costs him time, watching, hunger, nakedness, dizziness in the head, weakness in the stomach, and other inconveniences.

Lovers

One who has not only the four S's, which are required in every good lover, but even the whole alphabet; as for example... Agreeable, Bountiful, Constant, Dutiful, Easy, Faithful, Gallant, Honorable, Ingenious, Kind, Loyal, Mild, Noble, Officious, Prudent, Quiet, Rich, Secret, True, Valiant, Wise; the X indeed, is too harsh a letter to agree with him, but he is Young and Zealous.

Planning

To be prepared is half the victory.

Procrastination

Delay always breeds danger; and to protract a great design is often to ruin it.

Self-Conflict

The greatest foes, and whom we must chiefly combat, are within.

Tact and Tactfulness

One shouldn't talk of halters in the hanged man's house.

Value

That which costs little is less valued.

Wickedness

God bears with the wicked, but not forever.

Wisdom

Time ripens all things; no man is born wise.
