Praise Is Flattery, Artful, Hidden, Delicate, Which Gratifies Differently Him Who Praises And Him Who Is Praised. The One Takes It As The Reward Of Merit, The Other Bestows It To Show His Impartiality And Knowledge.

We Are Never So Happy, Nor So Unhappy, As We Suppose Ourselves To Be.

In Great Affairs We Ought To Apply Ourselves Less To Creating Chances Than To Profiting From Those That Offer.

Honest People Will Respect Us For Our Merit: The Public, For Our Luck.
