It Is Easier To Know Men In

It Is Not Enough That We Should Succeed, But Our Friends Must Fail As Well.

Humility Is Often Only The Putting On Of A Submissiveness By Which Men Hope To Bring Other People To Submit To Them; It Is A Morecalculated Sort Of Pride, Which Debases Itself With A Design Of Being Exalted; And Though This Vice Transform Itself Into A Thousand Several Shapes, Yet The Disguise Is Never More Effectual Nor More Capable Of Deceiving The World Than When Concealed Under A Form Of Humility.

We Should Gain More By Letting The World See What We Are Than By Trying To Seem What We Are Not.

Men May Boast Of Their Great Actions; But They Are More Often The Effects Of Chance Than Of Design.

Our Self-love Can Less Bear To Have Our Tastes Than Our Opinions Condemned.
