Beware prejudices. They are like rats, and men’s minds are like traps; prejudices get in easily, but it is doubtful if they ever get out.

There is nothing respecting which a man may be so long unconscious as of the extent and strength of his prejudices.

Good will, like a good name, is got by many actions, and lost by one.

The tendency to whining and complaining may be taken as the surest sign symptom of little souls and inferior intellects.
