It Is Difficult To Esteem A Man

It Is A Great Sign Of Mediocrity To Praise Always Moderately.

And Where, On Earth, Dwell Hope And Truth? In Childhood's Uncorrupted Heart; Alas! Too Soon To Guileless Youth The World Doth Its Dark Code Impart!

We Are Not Greatly Pleased That Our Friends Should Respect Our Good Qualities If They Venture To Perceive Our Faults.

We Must Not Be Timid From A Fear Of Committing Faults: The Greatest Fault Of All Is To Deprive Oneself Of Experience.

The Tempests Of Youth Are Mingled With Days Of Brilliant Sunshine.
