Absence Diminishes Mediocre Passions And Increases Great

Silence Is The Best Security To The Man Who Distrusts Himself.

All The Passions Are Nothing Else Than Different Degrees Of Heat And Cold Of The Blood.

Ordinary Men Commonly Condemn What Is Beyond Them.

Usually We Praise Only To Be Praised.

Happiness Does Not Consist In Things Themselves But In The Relish We Have Of Them; And A Man Has Attained It When He Enjoys What He Loves And Desires Himself, And Not What Other People Think Lovely And Desirable.
