Flattery Is A Counterfeit Money Which, But

Those Who Are Incapable Of Committing Great Crimes Do Not Readily Suspect Them In Others.

Only Strong Natures Can Really Be Sweet Ones; Those That Seem Sweet Are In General Only Weak, And May Easily Turn Sour.

Those Who Have The Most Cunning Affect All Their Lives To Condemn Cunning; That They May Make Use Of It On Some Great Occasion, And To Some Great End.

It Is Difficult To Like Those Whom We Do Not Esteem; But It Is No Less So To Like Those Whom We Esteem More Than Ourselves.

We Have No Patience With Other People's Vanity Because It Is Offensive To Our Own.
