| William Temple
No one ever was a great poet, that applied himself much to anything else. The best rules to form a young man, are, to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions, and value others that deserve it. The most influential of all educational factors is the conversation in a child's home. The only way for a rich man to be healthy is by exercise and abstinence, to live as if he were poor. There cannot live a more unhappy creature than an ill-natured old man, who is neither capable of receiving pleasures, nor sensible of conferring them on others. When all is done, human life is, at the greatest and the best, but like a froward child, that must be played with and humored a little to keep it quiet till it falls asleep, and then the care is over. |
