Envy Is Destroyed By True Friendship, As

When The Heart Is Still Disturbed By The Relics Of A Passion It Is Proner To Take Up A New One Than When Wholly Cured.

Whatever Distrust We May Have Of The Sincerity Of Those Who Converse With Us, We Always Believe They Will Tell Us More Truth Than They Do To Others.

The Contempt Of Riches In Philosophers Was Only A Hidden Desire To Avenge Their Merit Upon The Injustice Of Fortune, By Despising The Very Goods Of Which Fortune Had Deprived Them; It Was A Secret To Guard Themselves Against The Degradation Of Poverty, It Was A Back Way By Which To Arrive At That Distinction Which They Could Not Gain By Riches.

The Passions Are The Only Orators That Always Persuade: They Are, As It Were, A Natural Art, The Rules Of Which Are Infallible; And The Simplest Man With Passion Is More Persuasive Than The Most Eloquent Without It.
