Quotations By Johann Kaspar Lavater

Diligence

Who makes quick use of the moment, is a genius of prudence.

Enemy

Be assured those will be thy worst enemies, not to whom thou hast done evil, but who have done evil to thee. And those will be thy best friends, not to whom thou hast done good, but who have done good to thee.

Humor

Be not affronted at a joke. If one throw salt at thee, thou wilt receive no harm, unless thou art raw.

Intelligence

Genius always gives its best at first; prudence, at last.

Wisdom

Call him wise whose actions, words, and steps are all a clear because to a clear why.
