All The Passions Are Nothing Else Than

To Know Oneself Is Not Necessarily To Improve Oneself

Sometimes We Think We Dislike Flattery, But It Is Only The Way It Is Done That We Dislike.

We Often Forgive Those Who Bore Us, But We Cannot Forgive Those Whom We Bore.

To Praise Great Actions Is In Some Sense To Share Them.

Avarice Misapprehends Itself Almost Always. There Is No Passion Which More Often Will Miss Its Aim, Nor Upon Which The Present Has So Much Influence To The Prejudice Of The Future.
