What greater evil could you wish a miser, than long life?

From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own.

Pardon one offence, and you encourage the commission of many.

One ungrateful person does an injury to all needy people.

Let a fool hold his tongue and he will pass for a sage.

Would you have a great empire? Rule over yourself.

Tears gratify a savage nature, they do not melt it.

How unhappy is he who cannot forgive himself.

Each of us wages a private battle each day between the grand fantasies we have for ourselves and what actually happens.

The hybrid I have now is one of the least expensive cars I've ever had. I had a BMW 318i convertible once, the ultimate driving machine.
