Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.
Nothing is terrible except fear itself.
Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor.
Wise men make more opportunities than they find.
Friends are thieves of time.
