Most Quarrels Amplify A Misunderstanding.

The Finest Virtues Can Become Deformed With Age. The Precise Mind Becomes Finicky; The Thrifty Man, Miserly; The Cautious Man, Timorous; The Man Of Imagination, Fanciful. Even Perseverance Ends Up In A Sort Of Stupidity. Just As, On The Other Hand, Being Too Willing To Understand Too Many Opinions, Too Diverse Ways Of Seeing, Constancy Is Lost And The Mind Goes Astray In A Restless Fickleness.

The Most Decisive Actions Of Life Are Most Often Unconsidered Actions.

In Other People's Company I Felt I Was Dull, Gloomy, Unwelcome, At Once Bored And Boring.

Nothing Is More Fatal To Happiness Than The Remembrance Of Happiness.

Actions Whose Motives He Cannot Understand That Is, Actions Not Prompted By The Hope Of Profit.
