“Love your Enemies, for they tell you your Faults.”

“Tis a great confidence in a friend to tell him your faults; greater to tell him his.”

“Do good to your friends to keep them,to your enemies to win them.”

“The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all others, charity.”

“If you wish information and improvement from the knowledge of others, and yet at the same time express yourself as firmly fix'd in your present opinions, modest, sensible men, who do not love disputation, will probably leave you undisturbed in the possession of your error.”

“Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.”

“Critics are our friends, they show us our faults.”
