Concealment Is The Foe Of Tranquility.

To Diminish Expectation Is To Increase Enjoyment.

To Whom, Then, Must I Dedicate My Wonderful, Surprising And Interesting Adventures? To Whom Dare I Reveal My Private Opinion Of My Nearest Relations? The Secret Thoughts Of My Dearest Friends? My Own Hopes, Fears, Reflections And Dislikes? Nobody!

Credulity Is The Sister Of Innocence.

I'd Rather Be Done Any Thing To Than Laughed At, For, To My Mind, It's One Or Other The Disagreeablest Thing In The World.

Never Shall I Recollect The Occasion He Gave Me Of Displeasure, Without Feeling It Renewed.
