Old Fools Are Greater Fools Than Young

Some Allow Themselves To Be Overcome By Panic, And Others Charge Because They Dare Not Remain At Their Posts. Some May Be Found Whose Courage Is Strengthened By Small Perils That Prepare Them To Face Greater Dangers. Some Are Daring When Facing Swords But Dread Facing Bullets; Others Dread Bullets Little But Fear Facing Swords A Lot.

All The Passions Make Us Commit Faults; Love Makes Us Commit The Most Ridiculous Ones.

Gratitude Is A Lively Sense Of Benefits To Come.

Flattery Is A Base Coin Which Is Current Only Through Our Vanity.

High Fortune Makes Both Our Virtues And Vices Stand Out As Objects That Are Brought Clearly To View By The Light.
