Those readiest to criticise are often least able to appreciate.
      - [Critics]

Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love the truth.
      - [Opinion]

Thoughts there are, that need no embodying, no form, no expression. It is enough to hint at them vaguely; a word, and they are heard and seen.
      - [Thought]

Time and truth are friends, though there are many moments hostile to truth.
      - [Truth]

To be an agreeable guest one need only enjoy oneself.
      - [Guests]

To be capable of respect is almost as rare as to be worthy of it.
