He Who Would Be Singular

To Go To Law Is For Two Persons To Kindle A Fire, At Their Own Cost, To Warm Others And Singe Themselves To Cinders; And Because They Cannot Agree As To What Is Truth And Equity, They Will Both Agree To Unplume Themselves That Others May Be Decorated With Their Feathers.

That Man Is But Of The Lower Part Of The World That Is Not Brought Up To Business And Affairs.

Every Man Should Study Conciseness In Speaking; It Is A Sign Of Ignorance Not To Know That Long Speeches, Though They May Please The Speaker, Are The Torture Of The Hearer.

There Is No Belittling Worse Than To Over Praise A Man.

Show Me The Man Who Would Go To Heaven Alone If He Could, And In That Man I Will Show You One Who Will Never Be Admitted Into Heaven.
