Men Never Desire Anything Very Eagerly Which

The Passions Often Engender Their Contraries.

The Virtues And Vices Are All Put In Motion By Interest.

Οur Own Distrust Somewhat Justifies The Deceit Of Others.

A Man's Wits Are Better Employed In Bearing Up Under The Misfortunes That Lie Upon Him At Present Than In Foreseeing Those That May Come Upon Him Hereafter.

Humility Is The Altar Upon Which God Wishes That We Should Offer Him His Sacrifices.
