“All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse.”

“You have on hand those things that you need if you have but the wit and wisdom to use them.”

“Tricks and treachery are the practice of fools that don't have brains enough to be honest.”

“Half-wits talk much, but say little.”

“Words may show a man's wit, actions his meaning.”

“Most fools think they are only ignorant.”
