Men Never Desire Anything Very Eagerly Which

We Often Persuade Ourselves To Love People Who Are More Powerful Than We Are, Yet Interest Alone Produces Our Friendship; We Do Not Give Our Hearts Away For The Good We Wish To Do, But For That We Expect To Receive.

Truth Does Less Good In The World Than Its Appearances Do Harm.

We Exaggerate The Glory Of Some Men In Order To Detract From That Of Others.

There Are Few People More Convinced Of Their Own Genius Than Those Who Complain Of How Stupid They Are.

If It Requires Great Tact To Speak To The Purpose, It Requires No Less To Know When To Be Silent.
