A Party Spirit Betrays The Greatest Men

A Man Of The World Must Seem To Be What He Wishes To Be Thought.

Life Is Short, If We Are Only Said To Live When We Enjoy Ourselves; And If We Were Merely To Count Up The Hours We Spent Agreeably, A Great Number Of Years Would Hardly Make Up A Life Of A Few Months.

Discretion Is The Perfection Of Reason, And A Guide To Us In All The Duties Of Life; Cunning Is A Kind Of Instinct, That Only Looks Out After Our Immediate Interests And Welfare. Discretion Is Only Found In Men Of Strong Sense And Good Understanding; Cunning Is Often To Be Met With In Brutes Themselves, And In Persons Who Are But The Fewest Removes From Them.

If You Wish To Be Held In Esteem, You Must Ssociate Only With Those Who Estimable.

Poverty May Be The Mother Of Crime, But Lack Of Good Sense Is The Father.
