It Is Not Always For Virtue's Sake

We Forget Our Faults Easily When They Are Known To Ourselves Alone.

Jealousy Is In Some Measure Just And Reasonable, Since It Merely Aims At Keeping Something That Belongs To Us Or We Think Belongsto Us, Whereas Envy Is A Frenzy That Cannot Bear Anything That Belongs To Others.

The Mark Of Extraordinary Merit Is To See Those Most Envious Of It Constrained To Praise.

The Shame That Arises From Praise Which We Do Not Deserve Often Makes Us Do Things We Should Otherwise Never Have Attempted.

No Persons Are More Frequently Wrong, Than Those Who Will Not Admit They Are Wrong.
