Cunning And Treachery Are The Offspring Of Incapacity.

The Good Or The Bad Fortune Of Men Depends Not Less Upon Their Own Dispositions Than Upon Fortune.

The Old Begin To Complain Of The Conduct Of The Young When They Themselves Are No Longer Able To Set A Bad Example.

If Vanity Does Not Entirely Overthrow The Virtues, At Least It Makes Them All Totter.
