Johann Georg Zimmermann

“A moral lesson is better expressed in short sayings than in long discourse.”

“Many have been ruined by their fortunes, and many have escaped ruin by the want of fortune. To obtain it the great have become little, and the little great.”

“Many good qualities are not sufficient to balance a single want - the want of money.”

“Be not so bigoted to any custom as to worship it at the expense of truth.”

“Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.”
