Often We Are Firm From Weakness, And

The Most Brilliant Fortunes Are Often Not Worth The Littleness Required To Gain Them.

It Appears That Nature Has Hid At The Bottom Of Our Hearts Talents And Abilities Unknown To Us. It Is Only The Passions That Have The Power Of Bringing Them To Light, And Sometimes Give Us Views More True And More Perfect Than Art Could Possibly Do.

We Are Never So Easily Deceived As When We Imagine We Are Deceiving Others.

It Is As Easy To Deceive One's Self Without Perceiving It, As It Is Difficult To Deceive Others Without Their Finding Out.
