The Greatest Friend Of Truth Is Time, Her Greatest Enemy Is Prejudice, And Her Constant Companion Humility.
- Charles Caleb Colton
Riches May Enable Us To Confer Favours, But To Confer Them With Propriety And Grace Requires A Something That Riches Cannot Give.
To Know A Man, Observe How He Wins His Object, Rather Than How He Loses It; For When We Fail Our Pride Supports Us; When We Succeed, It Betrays Us.
To Know The Pains Of Power, We Must Go To Those Who Have It; To Know Its Pleasures, We Must Go To Those Who Are Seeking It.
There Are Two Modes Of Establishing Our Reputation: To Be Praised By Honest Men, And To Be Abused By Rogues. It Is Best, However, To Secure The Former, Because It Will Invariably Be Accompanied By The Latter.
It Is Always Safe To Learn, Even From Our Enemies; Seldom Safe To Venture To Instruct, Even Our Friends.
Many Books Require No Thought From Those Who Read Them, And For A Very Simple Reason; They Made No Such Demand Upon Those Who Wrote Them.
We Hate Some Persons Because We Do Not Know Them; And We Will Not Know Them Because We Hate Them.
