Humility Is The Worst Form Of Conceit.

Reconciliation With Our Enemies Is Simply A Desire To Better Our Condition, A Weariness Of War, Or The Fear Of Some Unlucky Thing From Occurring.

A Resolution Never To Deceive Exposes A Man To Be Often Deceived.

Sincerity Is A Certain Openness Of Heart. It Is To Be Found In Very Few, And What We Commonly Look Upon To Be So Is Only A Cunningsort Of Dissimulation, To Insinuate Ourselves Into The Confidence Of Others.

It Is Often Hard To Determine Whether A Clear, Open, And Honorable Proceeding Is The Result Of Goodness Or Of Cunning.
