Men Never Desire Anything Very Eagerly Which

Almost Everyone Takes Pleasure In Repaying Trifling Obligations, Very Many Feel Gratitude For Those That Are Moderate; But There Is Scarcely Anyone Who Is Not Ungrateful For Those That Are Weighty.

Nothing Ought More To Humiliate Men Who Have Merited Great Praise Than The Care They Still Take To Boast Of Little Things.

High Fortune Makes Both Our Virtues And Vices Stand Out As Objects That Are Brought Clearly To View By The Light.

We Often Are Consoled By Our Want Of Reason For Misfortunes That Reason Could Not Have Comforted.

A Man Cannot Please Long Who Has Only One Kind Of Wit.
