Some People Displease With Merit, And Others'

In Love Deceit Nearly Always Goes Further Than Mistrust.

We Would Rather See Those To Whom We Do Good, Than Those Who Do Good To Us.

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

Gratitude Is Like The Good Faith Of Traders: It Maintains Commerce, And We Often Pay, Not Because It Is Just To Discharge Our Debts, But That We May More Readily Find People To Trust Us.

Of All Our Faults, The One We Avow Most Easily Is Idleness; We Persuade Ourselves That It Is Allied To All The Peaceable Virtues,and As For The Others, That It Does Not Destroy Them Utterly, But Only Suspends The Exercise Of Their Functions.
