Ridicule Dishonors A Man More Than Dishonor

Many Young Persons Believe Themselves Natural When They Are Only Impolite And Coarse.

We Never Desire Strongly, What We Desire Rationally.

Our Own Distrust Gives A Fair Pretence For The Knavery Of Other People.

The Qualities We Have Do Not Make Us So Ridiculous As Those Which We Affect To Have. [fr., On N'est Jamais Si Ridicule Par Les Qualites Que L'on A Que Par Celles Que L'on Affecte D'avoir.]

Gratitude Is A Lively Sense Of Benefits To Come.
