Happy People Rarely Correct Their Faults; They

In All Aspects Of Life, We Take On A Part And An Appearance To Seem To Be What We Wish To Be--and Thus The World Is Merely Composed Of Actors.

It Is Not Enough That We Should Succeed, But Our Friends Must Fail As Well.

There Are Very Few Things Impossible In Themselves; And We Do Not Want Means To Conquer Difficulties So Much As Application And Resolution In The Use Of Means.

There Are No Accidents So Unlucky But The Prudent May Draw Some Advantage From Them.

There Are A Great Many Simpletons Who Know Themselves To Be So, And Who Make A Very Cunning Use Of Their Own Simplicity.
