Everyone Is Born Sincere And Dies Deceivers.

Our Actions Are Neither So Good Nor So Evil As Our Impulses.

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.

In Order To Protect Himself From Force, Man Was Obliged To Submit To Justice. Justice Or Force: He Was Compelled To Choose Between The Two Masters, So Little Are We Made To Be Independent.

A Man Can Hardly Be Said To Have Made A Fortune If He Does Not Know How To Enjoy It.

The Common Excuse For Those Bringing Misfortune On Others Is That They Desire Their Good.
