| A contract says that it is a legal document. It says that you put your name on it, and it says that there is enforcement if you don't do it. |
| A fool has not stuff in him to be good. |
| A gentleman may love like a lunatic, but not like a beast. |
| A good example is often given by someone who is too old to give a bad example |
| A little wit with good sense bores less in the long run than much wit with ill nature. |
| A man cannot please long who has only one kind of wit. |
| A man convinced of his own merit will accept misfortune as an honor, for thus can he persuade others, as well as himself, that he is a worthy target for the arrows of fate. |

| A man may be sharper than another, but not than all others |
| A man of sense may love like a madman, but never like a fool |
| A man who is always satisfied with himself is seldom so with others, and others as little pleased with him |
