Fancy Sets The Value On The Gifts

Friendship Is Insipid To Those Who Have Experienced Love.

We Do Not Like To Praise, And Seldom Praise Anyone Without Self-interest.

What Renders Other People's Vanity Insufferable Is That It Wounds Our Own.

It Is As Commendable To Think Well Of Oneself When Alone, As It Is Ridiculous To Speak Well Of Oneself Among Others.

There Are No Events So Disastrous That Adroit Men Do Not Draw Some Advantage From Them, Nor Any So Fortunate That The Imprudent Cannot Turn To Their Own Prejudice.
