Great Books Conserve Time.

Books Are Never Out Of Humour; Never Envious Or Jealous, They Answer All Questions With Readiness; ... They Teach Us How To Live And How To Die; They Dispel Melancholy By Their Mirth, And Amuse By Their Wit; They Prepare The Soul To Suffer Everything And Desire Nothing; They Introduce Us To Ourselves.

The Poor Are The Only Consistent Altruists; They Sell All They Have And Give It To The Rich.

Love Is The Most Subtle Form Of Self-interest.

Be Contented, When You Have Got All You Want.

We Are More Inclined To Regret Our Virtues Than Our Vices; But Only The Very Honest Will Admit This.
