Inferiority is what you enjoy in your best friends. - Philip Dormer Stanhope

Pleasure is the rock which most young people split upon: they launch out with crowded sails in quest of it, but without a compass to direct their course, or reason sufficient to steer the vessel; for want of which, pain and shame, instead of pleasure, are the returns of their voyage.

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

An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult.
