Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul.

The greatest magnifying glasses in the world are a man's own eyes when they look upon his own person.

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in the night. God said, Let Newton be! and all was light!

A brain of feathers, and a heart of lead.

On wrongs swift vengeance waits.

No one should be ashamed to admit they are wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that they are wiser today than they were yesterday.

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

To err is human; to forgive, divine.
