2. It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters.
3.Men often applaud an imitation and hiss the real thing
3. Our insignificance is often the cause of our safety.
4. Persuasion is often more effectual than force.
5. Self-conceit may lead to self destruction.
6.The level of our success is limited only by our imagination and no act of kindness, however small, is ever wasted.
7. Affairs are easier of entrance than of exit; and it is but common prudence to see our way out before we venture in.
8. He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.
9. He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another.
10. It is with our passions as it is with fire and water, they are good servants, but bad masters.
11. Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.
12. Every truth has two sides; it is as well to look at both, before we commit ourselves to either.
