Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. Fools admire, but men of sense approve.

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her. No one should be ashamed to admit they are wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that they are wiser today than they were yesterday. To err is human; to forgive, divine.

Not always actions show the man; we find who does a kindness is not therefore kind. The learned is happy, nature to explore; The fool is happy, that he knows no more. And, after all, what is a lie? 'Tis but the truth in a masquerade.

Never find fault with the absent.

Men would be angels, angels would be gods.

Order is heaven's first law. Those move easiest who have learn'd to dance.
