Strength And Weakness Of Mind Are Misnomers;

What Makes Vanity So Insufferable To Us, Is That It Hurts Our Own.

Passion Often Makes Fools Of The Wisest Men And Gives The Silliest Wisdom.

He That Would Be A Great Man Must Learn To Turn Every Accident To Some Advantage.

Gallantry Of Mind Consists In Saying Flattering Things In An Agreeable Manner.

The Passions Possess A Certain Injustice And Self Interest Which Makes It Dangerous To Follow Them, And In Reality We Should Distrust Them Even When They Appear Most Trustworthy.
