Subcategory: English Politician
|  Do not hover always on the surface of things, nor take up suddenly with mere appearances; but penetrate into the depth of matters, as far as your time and circumstances allow, especially in those things which relate to your profession. | | Acquaint yourself with your own ignorance. | | Learning to trust is one of life's most difficult tasks. | | Flies, worms, and flowers exceed me still. | | Acquire a government over your ideas, that they may come down when they are called, and depart when they are bidden. | | I would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great. | | 'Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, you have waked me too soon, I must slumber again. | | For Satan always finds some mischief still for idle hands to do. |
