Fortune Converts Everything To The Advantage Of

Nature Has Concealed At The Bottom Of Our Minds Talents And Abilities Of Which We Are Not Aware.

Our Envy Always Outlives The Felicity Of Its Object.

The Defects And Faults Of The Mind Are Like Wounds In The Body; After All Imaginable Care Has Been Taken To Heal Them Up, Still There Will Be A Scar Left Behind, And They Are In Continual Danger Of Breaking The Skin And Bursting Out Again.

The Mark Of Extraordinary Merit Is To See Those Most Envious Of It Constrained To Praise.

The Name And Pretense Of Virtue Is As Serviceable To Self-interest As Are Real Vices.
