Jesting Is Often Only Indigence Of Intellect.

It Is Better To Expose Ourselves To Ingratitude Than To Neglect Our Duty To The Distressed.

The Spendthrift Robs His Heirs The Miser Robs Himself.

If Our Life Is Unhappy It Is Painful To Bear; If It Is Happy It Is Horrible To Lose, So The One Is Pretty Equal To The Other.
