The worst of faces still is human.
She whom smiles and tears make equally lovely may command all hearts.
As man's love or hatred, so he. Love and hatred exist only personified.
The true friend of truth and good loves them under all forms, but he loves them most under the most simple form.
To know yourself you have only to set down a true statement of those that ever loved or hated you.
True love, like the eye, can bear no flaw.
Truth, wisdom, love, seek reasons; malice only seeks causes.
Neatness begets order; but from order to taste there is the same difference as from taste to genius, or from love to friendship.
When you doubt between words, use the plainest, the commonest, the most idiomatic. Eschew fine words as you would rouge; love simple ones as you would the native roses on your cheek.
