     Insist upon your neither piping nor fiddling yourself
     Insolent civility
     intoleration in religious, and inhospitality in civil matters
     Intrinsic, and not their imaginary value
     It is a real inconvenience to anybody to be fat
     It is not sufficient to deserve well; one must please well too
     Jealous of being slighted
     Jog on like man and wife; that is, seldom agreeing
     Judge of every man’s truth by his degree of understanding
     Judge them all by their merits, but not by their ages
     Judges from the appearances of things, and not from the reality
     Keep your own temper and artfully warm other people’s
     Keep good company, and company above yourself
     Kick him upstairs
     King’s popularity is a better guard than their army
     Know their real value, and how much they are generally overrated
     Know the true value of time
     Know, yourself and others
     Knowing how much you have, and how little you want
     Knowing any language imperfectly
     Knowledge is like power in this respect
     Knowledge:  either despise it, or think that they have enough
     Knowledge of a scholar with the manners of a courtier
     Known people pretend to vices they had not
     Knows what things are little, and what not
     Labor is the unavoidable fatigue of a necessary journey
     Labor more to put them in conceit with themselves
     Last beautiful varnish, which raises the colors
     Laughing, I must particularly warn you against it
     Lay down a method for everything, and stick to it inviolably
     Lazy mind, and the trifling, frivolous mind
     Learn to keep your own secrets
     Learn, if you can, the why and the wherefore
     Leave the company, at least as soon as he is wished out of it
     Led, much oftener by little things than by great ones
     Less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in
     Let me see more of you in your letters
     Let them quietly enjoy their errors in taste
     Let nobody discover that you do know your own value
     Let nothing pass till you understand it
     Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote
     Life of ignorance is not only a very contemptible, but tiresome
     Listlessness and indolence are always blameable
     Little minds mistake little objects for great ones
     Little failings and weaknesses
     Loud laughter is the mirth of the mob
     Love with him, who they think is the most in love with them
     Loved without being despised, and feared without being hated
     Low company, most falsely and impudently, call pleasure
     Low buffoonery, or silly accidents, that always excite laughter
     Luther’s disappointed avarice
     Machiavel
     Made him believe that the world was made for him
     Make a great difference
