Many have been ruined by their fortune, and many have escaped ruin by the want of fortune. To obtain it the great have become little, and the little great.
Many good qualities are not sufficient to balance a single want-the want of money.
If you ask me which is the real hereditary sin of human nature, do you imagine I shall answer pride, or luxury, or ambition, or egotism? No; I shall say indolence. Who conquers indolence will conquer all the rest. Indeed all good principles must stagnate without mental activity.
Open your mouth and purse cautiously, and your stock of wealth and reputation shall, at least in repute, be great.
Beauty is often worse than wine; intoxicating both the holder and beholder.
