Hope Deceives More Men Than Cunning Does.

Men Despise Great Projects When They Do Not Feel Themselves Capable Of Great Successes.

None Are More Liable To Mistakes Than Those Who Act Only On Second Thoughts.

Truth Is Not So Threadbare As Speech, Because Fewer People Can Make Use Of It.

Men Crowd Into Honorable Careers Without Other Vocation Than Their Vanity, Or At Best Their Love Of Fame.

Lazy People Are Always Anxious To Be Doing Something.
