Spam Philosophy

From an email soliciting "secret shoppers":

I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and German to my horse.
Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.
The best rules to form a young man, are, to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions, and value others that deserve it.

I'm sure these are stolen from somewhere.

UPDATE: The first quote is Charles V. The second is Ambrose Bierce. The third is William Temple.
