Everything Made By Man May Be Destroyed

It Is Too Difficult To Think Nobly When One Thinks Only Of Earning A Living.

Our Greatest Misfortunes Come To Us From Ourselves.

Remorse Sleeps During A Prosperous Period But Wakes Up In Adversity.

Our Will Is Always For Our Own Good, But We Do Not Always See What That Is; The People Is Never Corrupted, But It Is Often Deceived, And On Such Occasions Only Does It Seem To Will What Is Bad.

Gracefulness Cannot Subsist Without Ease; Delicacy Is Not Debility; Nor Must A Woman Be Sick In Order To Please. Infirmity, And Sickness May Excite Our Pity, But Desire And Pleasure Require The Bloom And Vigor Of Health.
