Most People Judge Men By Their Success

In Misfortune We Often Mistake Dejection For Constancy; We Bear It Without Daring To Look On It; Like Cowards, Who Suffer Themselves To Be Murdered Without Resistance.

The Most Effectual Way To Be Deceived Is To Believe Oneself More Cunning Than One's Neighbors.

Too Great Refinement Is False Delicacy, And True Delicacy Is Solid Refinement.

The Daily Employment Of Cunning Marks A Little Mind, It Generally Happens That Those Who Resort To It In One Respect To Protect Themselves Lay Themselves Open To Attack In Another.

Plenty Of People Want To Be Pious, But No One Yearns To Be Humble.
