I am not unique in my elegiac sadness at watching reading die, in the era that celebrates Stephen King and J.K. Rowling rather than Charles Dickens and Lewis Carroll.

A trusty comrade is always of use; and a chronicler still more so.

Children are innocent so they know nothing like long term malice.

Bring a wife home to your house when you are of the right age, not far short of 30 years, nor much above; this is the right time for marriage.

But he who neither thinks for himself nor learns from others, is a failure as a man.

How easily some light report is set about, but how difficult to bear.

Preserve the mean; the opportune moment is best in all things.

It is from work that men are rich in flocks and wealthy, and a working man is much dearer to the immortals
