Quote

Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear

If you wish to succeed in life, make perseverance your bosom friend, experience your wise counselor, caution your elder brother, and hope your guardian genius

The hours of a wise man are lengthened by his ideas

Animals, in their generation, are wiser than the sons of men; but their wisdom is confined to a few particulars, and lies in a very narrow compass

One should take good care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life as laughter

The less men think, the more they talk.
