“Those who are clever in imagination are far more pleased with themselves than prudent men could reasonably be.”

“When we would show any one that he is mistaken, our best course is to observe on what side he considers the subject,--for his view of if is generally right on this side,--and admit to him that he is right so far.

“Selfishness doesn't consist in a love to yourself, but in a big degree of such love.”

“He who acts with a constant view to his own advantage will be much murmured against.”

“Always remember honey. A good motto is: Take all you can get and give as little as possible.”

“Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.”

“Report me and my cause aright.”

“If only she could put them together, she felt, write them out in some sentence, then she would have got at the truth of things.”
