Aphorisms of various authors collected for reflection
A noontide sun is dark and music disturbs when the heart is low. The shortest way to finish tasks is to focus on one thing at a time. Recollection is the paradise we cannot be turned from. Ill fortune tests self and virtue. Ignorance breeds forwardness more than impudence. Modest expression beautifies talent. Elevation requires merit. The chance to do mischief appears often, to do good rarely. Intelligence should direct labor in society. Meanness in youth risks becoming a villain in later life. it tempts with fatal attraction.
