Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.

It takes the whole of life to learn how to live, and - even more surprising - it takes the whole of life to learn how to die.
While we teach, we learn.
A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
Vice may be learnt, even without a teacher
Conversation has a kind of charm about it, an insuating and insidious something that elicits secrets from us just like love or liquor.
You can only acquire it successfully if you cease to feel any sense of shame.
