It Is More Difficult For A Man

We Often Shed Tears That Deceive Ourselves After Deceiving Others.

The Most Subtle Of Our Acts Is To Simulate Blindness For Snares That We Know Are Set For Us.

We Take Less Pains To Be Happy, Than To Appear So.

Of All Our Faults, The One We Avow Most Easily Is Idleness; We Persuade Ourselves That It Is Allied To All The Peaceable Virtues,and As For The Others, That It Does Not Destroy Them Utterly, But Only Suspends The Exercise Of Their Functions.

One Thing Which Makes Us Find So Few People Who Appear Reasonable And Agreeable In Conversation Is, That There Is Scarcely Any One Who Does Not Think More Of What He Is About To Say Than Of Answering Precisely What Is Said To Him.
