The Better Part Of One's Life Consists

We Are Not Fond Of Praising, And Never Praise Any One Except From Interested Motives. Praise Is A Clever, Concealed, And Delicate Flattery, Which Gratifies In Different Ways The Giver And The Receiver. The One Takes It As A Recompense Of His Merit, And The Other Bestows It To Display His Equity And Discernment.

As One Grows Older, One Becomes Wiser And More Foolish.

Bravery In Simple Soldiers Is A Dangerous Trade, To Which They Have Bound Themselves To Get Their Livelihood.

If It Requires Great Tact To Speak To The Purpose, It Requires No Less To Know When To Be Silent.

Idleness And Fear Keeps Us In The Path Of Duty, But Our Virtue Often Gets The Praise.
