“We cannot ask a man what he will do, and if we should, and he should answer us, we should despise him for it. Therefore we must take a man whose opinions are known.”
“For a companion, I require one who will make an equal demand on me with my own genius. Such a one will always be rightly tolerant.It is suicide, and corrupts good manners, to welcome any less than this.

“A friend may be waiting behind a stranger's face.”

“Knavery's plain face is never seen till used.”
“We are more often treacherous through weakness than through calculation.”
