“Men learn while they teach.”

“It is equally faulty to trust everyone and to trust no one.”

“No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it.”

“Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself.”

“The way is long if one follows precepts, but short and helpful, if one follows patterns.”

“He is a great man who uses earthenware dishes as if they were silver; but he is equally great who uses silver as if it were earthenware.”

“While we are postponing, life speeds by.”

“Men who have made these discoveries before us are not our masters, but our guides.”
