Minds, like bodies, will often fall into a pimpled, ill-conditioned state from mere excess of comfort.
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound ought and six, result misery.
Train up a fig tree in the way it should go, and when you are old sit under the shade of it.
Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature.
No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.
