Happiness Does Not Consist In Things Themselves But In The Relish We Have Of Them; And A Man Has Attained It When He Enjoys What He Loves And Desires Himself, And Not What Other People Think Lovely And Desirable.

If We Did Not Have Pride, We Would Not Complain Of It In Others.

Our Distrust Of Another Justifies His Deceit.

It Is As Common For Tastes To Change As It Is Uncommon For Traits Of Character.
