   but a man with learning and wearing bad clothes is highly respected wherever he goes.
   Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.
   To have what we want is riches, to be able to do without what we want is power.
   The only way to keep your education is to give it away.
   Positive anything is better than negative nothing.
   Violence symbols weakness - strength shows itself patience and poise.
   Many are called but few get up.
   If we are ever damned it will not be because we have loved too much, but because we have loved too little.
   God gives us our relations thank God we can choose our friends.
   He laughs best, whose laugh lasts.
   It does not take much strength to do things, but it takes much strength to decide on what to do.
