The Extreme Delight We Experience In Talking

Self-love Is The Greatest Of All Flatterers.

A Fool Has Not Material Enough To Be Good. [fr., Un Sot N'a Pas Assez D'etoffe Pour Etre Bon.]

The Most Clever And Polite Are Content With Only Seeming Attentive While We Perceive In Their Mind And Eyes That At The Very Time They Are Wandering From What Is Said And Desire To Return To What They Want To Say.

Virtue Is The Habit Of Acting According To Wisdom. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, "felicity", Leibniz: Political Writings Virtue Is Harder To Be Got Than Knowledge Of The World; And, If Lost In A Young Man, Is Seldom Recovered. John Locke, Some Thoughts Concerning Education However Wicked Men May Be, They Do Not Dare Openly To Appear The Enemies Of Virtue, And When They Desire To Persecute Her They Either Pretend To Believe Her False Or Attribute Crimes To Her.

Sometimes We Think We Dislike Flattery, But It Is Only The Way It Is Done That We Dislike.
