Every Man Should Study Conciseness In Speaking;

Men Are Like Wine,--not Good Before The Lees Of Clownishness Be Settled.

I Love The Man That Is Modestly Valiant; That Stirs Not Till He Most Needs, And Then To Purpose. A Continued Patience I Commend Not.

He Who Would Be Singular In His Apparel Had Need Have Something Superlative To Balance That Affectation.

The Noblest Part Of A Friend Is An Honest Boldness In The Notifying Of Errors. He That Tells Me Of A Fault, Aiming At My Good, I Must Think Him Wise And Faithful--wise In Spying That Which I See Not; Faithful In A Plain Admonishment, Not Tainted With Flattery.

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.
