A Learned Blockhead Is A Greater Blockhead

Those Who Govern, Having Much Business On Their Hands, Do Not Generally Like To Take The Trouble Of Considering And Carrying Into Execution New Projects. The Best Public Measures Are Therefore Seldom Adopted From Previous Wisdom, But Forced By The Occasion.

Remember, That Six Pounds A Year Is But A Groat A Day.

Remember Not Only To Say The Right Thing In The Right Place, But Far More Difficult Still, To Leave Unsaid The Wrong Thing At The Tempting Moment.

They Who Have Nothing To Trouble Them, Will Be Troubled At Nothing.

If You Would Have A Faithful Servant, And One That You Like, Serve Yourself.
