Fortune Soon Tires Of Carrying Anyone Long

To Oblige People Often Costs Little And Helps Much.

Never Contend With A Man Who Has Nothing To Lose.

Those Who Insist On The Dignity Of Their Office Show They Have Not Deserved It.

Many Of The Things That Bring Delight Should Not Be Owned. They Are More Enjoyed If Another's, Than If Yours; The First Day They Give Pleasure To The Owner, But In All The Rest To The Others: What Belongs To Another Rejoices Doubly, Because It Is Without The Risk Of Going Stale And With The Satisfaction Of Freshness. . . The Possession Of Things Not Only Diminishes Their Enjoyment, But Augments Their Annoyance, Whether Shared Or Not Shared.

Little Said Is Soon Amended. There Is Always Time To Add A Word, Never To Withdraw One.
