“「Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.」”

“「If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.」”

“「It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.」”

“「Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.」”
