Here are a few more, paraphrased from the novel:

There are few people who deserve the compliment of rational opposition.

It is a good idea to proportion one's words to the number of one's ideas, even if this makes you a man/woman of few words.

If your spouse does something of which you disapprove, a gentle reprimand on the subject five or six times a day should reconcile you to the situation.

Favourite maxims are made to be counteracted.
