Custom Is Almost A Second

The State Of Life Is Most Happy Where Superfluities Are Not Required And Necessities Are Not Wanting.

When The Strong Box Contains No More Both Friends And Flatterers Shun The Door.

Painting Is Silent Poetry.

Themistocles Replied That A Man's Discourse Was Like To A Rich Persian Carpet, The Beautiful Figures And Patterns Of Which Can Only Be Shown By Spreading And Extending It Out; When It Is Contracted And Folded Up, They Are Obscured And Lost.

Grief Is Like A Physical Pain Which Must Be Allowed To Subside Somewhat On Its Own Before Medical Treatment Is Applied.
