Old Men Delight In Giving Good Advice

All Who Know Their Own Minds Know Not Their Own Hearts.

We Take Less Pains To Be Happy, Than To Appear So.

We Are Not Fond Of Praising, And Never Praise Any One Except From Interested Motives. Praise Is A Clever, Concealed, And Delicate Flattery, Which Gratifies In Different Ways The Giver And The Receiver. The One Takes It As A Recompense Of His Merit, And The Other Bestows It To Display His Equity And Discernment.

We Should Scarcely Desire Things Ardently If We Were Perfectly Acquainted With What We Desire.

It Requires No Small Degree Of Ability To Know When To Conceal One's Ability.
