The wise man does at once what the fool does finally.

Brevity

Good things, when short, are twice as good.

Enemies

A wise man learns more from his enemies than a fool from his friends.

Fights and Fighting

Never contend with a man who has nothing to lose.

Gratitude

He that has satisfied his thirst turns his back on the well.

Insanity

Better mad with the rest of the world than wise alone.

Love

Let the first impulse pass, wait for the second.

Originality

Begin with another's to end with your own.

Speakers and Speaking

Little said is soon amended. There is always time to add a word, never to withdraw one.
