John Churton Collins

A fool often fails because he thinks what is difficult is easy.

Half our mistakes in life arise from feeling where we ought to think, and thinking where we ought to feel.

Never claim as a right what you can ask as a favor.

Never trust a man who speaks well of everybody.

In prosperity our friends know us in adversity we know our friends.

To ask advice is in nine cases out of ten to tout for flattery.

In prosperity, our friends know us; in adversity, we know our friends.

A wise man thinks what is easy is difficult.

Truth is the object of philosophy, but not always of philosophers.

If we knew each other's secrets, what comforts we should find.
