The Flatterer Does Not Think Highly Enough

It Is No More In Our Power To Love Always Than It Was Not To Love At All.

A Man Must Have Very Eminent Qualities To Hold His Own Without Being Polite.

A Simple Garb Is The Proper Costume Of The Vulgar; It Is Cut For Them, And Exactly Suits Their Measure, But It Is An Ornament For Those Who Have Filled Up Their Lives With Great Deeds. I Liken Them To Beauty In Dishabille, But More Bewitching On That Account.

A Man Who Has Schemed For Some Time Can No Longer Do Without It; All Other Ways Of Living Are To Him Dull And Insipid.

Extremes Are Vicious, And Proceed From Men; Compensation Is Just, And Proceeds From God.
