How many observe Christ's birthday! How few, his precepts! O! 'tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.

A good conscience is a continual Christmas.

Fear not death, for the sooner we die the longer we shall be immortal

The doors of wisdom are never shut

Honesty is the best policy

Whatever is begun in anger ends in shame

A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body

Your net worth to the world is usually determined by what remains after your bad habits are subtracted from your good ones

In the affairs of this world, men are saved not by faith, but by the want of it

The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself

Beauty and folly are old companions

Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards

At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; and at 40 the judgment

If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking

A penny saved is a penny earned

If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it form him

When in doubt, don’t

Pride breakfasted with plenty, dined with poverty, and supped with infamy
