Politeness Is A Desire To Be Treated

There Are Few People More Convinced Of Their Own Genius Than Those Who Complain Of How Stupid They Are.

Absence Diminishes Mediocre Passions And Increases Great Ones, As The Wind Extinguishes Candles And Fans Fires.

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

Hope And Fear Are Inseparable.

We Are Almost Always Wearied In The Company Of Persons With Whom We Are Not Permitted To Be Weary.
