Many a man would rather you heard his story than grant his request. - Philip Dormer Stanhope

no pierdas tiempo, hijo mio, en formar tu gusto, tus modales, tu mente y todo lo que has de tener; pues lo que, hasta cierto punto, seas a los veinte anos, eso, con poca diferencia, seras todo el resto de tu vida

There is time enough for everything, in the course of the day, if you do but one thing at once; but there is not time enough in the year, if you will do two things at a time.

People not used to the world … are unskillful enough to show what they have sense enough not to tell.
