Despair Is The Greatest Of Our Errors.

It Is Not In Everyone's Power To Secure Wealth, Office, Or Honors; But Everyone May Be Good, Generous, And Wise.

The Generality Of Men Are So Bound Within The Sphere Of Their Circumstances That They Have Not Even The Courage To Get Out Of Them Through Their Ideas, And If We See A Few Whom, In A Way, Speculation Over Great Things Makes Incapable Of Mean Ones, We Find Still More With Whom The Practice Of Small Things Takes Away The Feeling For Great Ones.

Men Sometimes Feel Injured By Praise Because It Assigns A Limit To Their Merit; Few People Are Modest Enough Not To Take Offense That One Appreciates Them.

One Promises Much, To Avoid Giving Little.

When We Are Sick Our Virtues And Our Vices Are In Abeyance.
