"It is a most miserable thing to be a wise man among fools."

"There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other."

"It is not enough to have a good mind; the main thing is to use it well."

"The less we desire, the more we have."

"There are some people who, if they don't get a little drunk, say nothing at all worth hearing."
