"Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life."
"A woman seldom asks advice before she has bought her wedding clothes."
"To be an atheist requires an infinitely greater measure of faith than to receive all the great truths which atheism would deny."

"A man doesn't know what he knows until he knows what he doesn't know."
"Learning has been [a] great loser by being shut up in colleges and cells and secluded from the world and good company."
"Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."
