A Wise Traveler Never Despises

However We May Flatter Ourselves To The Contrary, Our Friends Think No Higher Of Us Than The World Do. They See Us Through The Jaundiced Or Distrustful Eyes Of Others. They May Know Better, But Their Feelings Are Governed By Popular Prejudice. Nay, They Are More Shy Of Us (when Under A Cloud) Than Even Strangers; For We Involve Them In A Common Disgrace, Or Compel Them To Embroil Themselves In Continual Quarrels And Disputes In Our Defense.

The Art Of Life Is To Know How To Enjoy A Little And To Endure Very Much.

When You Find Out A Man's Ruling Passion, Beware Of Crossing Him In It.

An Honest Man Speaks The Truth, Though It May Give Offence; A Vain Man, In Order That It May.

Those Who Speak Ill Of The Spiritual Life, Although They Come And Go By Day, Are Like The Smith's Bellows: They Take Breath But Are Not Alive.
