You can go a long way with bad legs and a good head.
To try to be better is to be better.
A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.
