If We Did Not Flatter Ourselves, The

We Confess To Little Faults Only To Persuade Ourselves We Have No Great Ones.

To Praise Princes For Virtues They Do Not Possess Is To Insult Them Without Fear Of Consequences.

The Greater Part Of Mankind Judge Of Men Only By Their Fashionableness Or Their Fortune.

Sincerity Is An Openness Of Heart; We Find It In Very Few People; What We Usually See Is Only An Artful Dissimulation To Win The Confidence Of Others.

We Say Little, When Vanity Does Not Make Us Speak.
