It Is Not Enough That We Should

Hatred Is Stronger Than Friendship.

The Violence We Do To Ourselves In Order To Remain Faithful To The One We Love Is Hardly Better Than An Act Of Infidelity.

If Vanity Does Not Entirely Overthrow The Virtues, At Least It Makes Them All Totter.

Flattery Is A Base Coin Which Is Current Only Through Our Vanity.

Passions Often Produce Their Contraries: Avarice Sometimes Leads To Prodigality, And Prodigality To Avarice; We Are Often Obstinate Through Weakness And Daring Through Timidity.
