The Counsels Of Old Age Give Light

Our Virtues Are Dearer To Us The More We Have Had To Suffer For Them. It Is The Same With Our Children. All Profound Affection Admits A Sacrifice.

The Mind Is The Soul's Eye, Not Its Source Of Power. That Lies In The Heart, In Other Words, In The Passions.

Consciousness Of Our Strength Increases It.

We Are Not Greatly Pleased That Our Friends Should Respect Our Good Qualities If They Venture To Perceive Our Faults.

Whatever Affection We Have For Our Friends Or Relations, The Happiness Of Others Never Suffices For Our Own.
