Someone Praising A Man For His Foolhardy

They Fought Indeed And Were Slain, But It Was To Maintain The Luxury And The Wealth Of Other Men.

When The Candles Are Out All Women Are Fair.

Blinded As They Are To Their True Character By Self-love, Every Man Is His Own First And Chiefest Flatterer, Prepared, Therefore, To Welcome The Flatterer From The Outside, Who Only Comes Confirming The Verdict Of The Flatterer Within.

Neither Blame Or Praise Yourself.

He Who Least Likes Courting Favour, Ought Also Least To Think Of Resenting Neglect; To Feel Wounded At Being Refused A Distinction Can Only Arise From An Overweening Appetite To Have It.
