Familiarity Is A Suspension Of Almost All

We Say Little, When Vanity Does Not Make Us Speak.

It Is The Prerogative Of Great Men Only To Have Great Defects.

People Would Not Long Remain In Social Life If They Were Not The Dupes Of Each Other.

Nothing Is More Ridiculous In Old People That Were Once Good-looking, Than To Forget That They Are Not So Still.

Men Are Not Only Prone To Forget Benefits; They Even Hate Those Who Have Obliged Them, And Cease To Hate Those Who Have Injured Them. The Necessity Of Revenging An Injury, Or Of Recompensing A Benefit Seems A Slavery To Which They Are Unwilling To Submit.
