Passion Often Renders The Most Clever Man

We Label Judges With Having The Meanest Motives, And Yet We Desire That Our Reputation And Fame Should Depend Upon The Judgment Of Men, Who Are All, Either From Their Jealousy Or Preoccupation Or Want Of Intelligence, Opposed To Us - And Yet Despite Their Bias, Just For The Sake Of Making These Men Decide In Our Favor, We Peril In So Many Ways Both Our Peace And Our Life.

It Is More Difficult For A Man To Be Faithful To His Mistress When He Is Favored Than When He Is Ill Treated By Her.

Were We Not Proud Ourselves, We Should Not Complain Of The Pride Of Others.

If We Never Flattered Ourselves We Should Have But Scant Pleasure.

None But Great Men Are Capable Of Having Great Flaws.
