One May Outwit Another, But Not All

The Desire Of Appearing Clever Often Prevents Our Becoming So.

The Same Strength Of Character Which Helps A Man Resist Love, Helps To Make It More Violent And Lasting Too. People Of Unsettled Minds Are Always Driven About With Passions, But Never Absolutely Filled With Any.

We Have Not Enough Strength To Follow All Our Reason.

To Be A Great Man It Is Necessary To Turn To Account All Opportunities.

We Love Everything On Our Own Account; We Even Follow Our Own Taste And Inclination When We Prefer Our Friends To Ourselves; And Yet It Is This Preference Alone That Constitutes True And Perfect Friendship.
