The Constancy Of Sages Is Nothing But

Most Men Expose Themselves In Battle Enough To Save Their Honor, Few Wish To Do So More Than Sufficiently, Or Than Is Necessary To Make The Design For Which They Expose Themselves Succeed.

It Is Harder To Hide The Feelings We Have Than To Feign The Ones We Do Not Have.
