All The Passions Make Us Commit Faults;

The Most Clever And Polite Are Content With Only Seeming Attentive While We Perceive In Their Mind And Eyes That At The Very Time They Are Wandering From What Is Said And Desire To Return To What They Want To Say.

It Is As Easy To Unknowingly Deceive Yourself As It Is To Deceive Others.

Of All Our Faults, The One We Avow Most Easily Is Idleness; We Persuade Ourselves That It Is Allied To All The Peaceable Virtues,and As For The Others, That It Does Not Destroy Them Utterly, But Only Suspends The Exercise Of Their Functions.

We Often Shed Tears That Deceive Ourselves After Deceiving Others.

We Think Very Few People Sensible, Except Those Who Are Of Our Opinion.
