Old Age Is A Tyrant, Who Forbids,

The Sicknesses Of The Soul Have Their Ups And Downs Like Those Of The Body; What We Take To Be A Cure Is Most Often Merely A Respite Or Change Of Disease.

We Endeavor To Make A Virtue Of The Faults We Are Unwilling To Correct.

Silence Is The Best Tactic For He Who Distrusts Himself.

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

We Sometimes Condemn The Present, By Praising The Past; And Show Our Contempt Of What Is Now, By Our Esteem For What Is No More.
