"The world, dear Agnes, is a strange place, and full of strange people."

"It is a strange thing that a man should be so proud as to despise others for their poverty."

"A learned fool is more foolish than an unlearned fool."

"It is a good thing to be learned, but it is better to be a good man."

"The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them; it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself."
