“He who postpones the hour of living rightly is like the rustic who waits for the river to run out before he crosses.”

“He who combines the useful and the pleasing wins out by both instructing and delighting the reader. That is the sort of book that will make money for the publisher, cross the seas, and extend the fame of the author.”

“He will always be a slave who does not know how to live upon a little.”

“Happy the man, and happy he alone,he who can call today his own:he who, secure within, can say,Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.Be fair or foul, or rain or shinethe joys I have possessed, in spite of fate, are mine.Not Heaven itself, upon the past has power,but what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.”

“He who feared that he would not succeed sat still.”

“He gets every vote who combines the useful with the pleasant, and who, at the same time he pleases the reader, also instructs him.”

“he who is greedy is always in want”
