Good Taste Comes More From The Judgment

We Love Everything On Our Own Account; We Even Follow Our Own Taste And Inclination When We Prefer Our Friends To Ourselves; And Yet It Is This Preference Alone That Constitutes True And Perfect Friendship.

It Is As Proper To Have Pride In Oneself As It Ridiculous To Show It To Others.

We Often Act Treacherously More From Weakness Than From A Fixed Motive.

Our Envy Always Outlives The Felicity Of Its Object.

A Refusal Of Praise Is A Desire To Be Praised Twice.
