Lord Chesterfield

"The heart never grows better by age I fear rather worse, always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older."

"In seeking wisdom thou art wise in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool."

"Swift speedy time, feathered with flying hours, Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow."

"Patience is the most necessary quality for business, many a man would rather you heard his story than grant his request."

"I find, by experience, that the mind and the body are more than married, for they are most intimately united and when one suffers, the other sympathizes."

"The heart never grows better by age I fear rather worse, always harder. A young liar will be an old one, and a young knave will only be a greater knave as he grows older."
