False Modesty Is The Refinement Of Vanity.

How Much Wit, Good-nature, Indulgences, How Many Good Offices And Civilities, Are Required Among Friends To Accomplish In Some Years What A Lovely Face Or A Fine Hand Does In A Minute!

A Man Must Be Completely Wanting In Intelligence If He Does Not Show It When Actuated By Love, Malice, Or Necessity.

Modesty Is To Merit, What Shade Is To Figures In A Picture; It Gives It Strength And Makes It Stand Out.

The Noblest Deeds Are Well Enough Set Forth In Simple Language; Emphasis Spoils Them.

It Is Because Of Men That Women Dislike One Another.
