The Generality Of Friends Puts Us Out

Few Things Are Needful To Make The Wise Man Happy, But Nothing Satisfies The Fool; - And This Is The Reason Why So Many Of Mankind Are Miserable.

The Principal Point Of Cleverness Is To Know How To Value Things Just As They Deserve.

The Surest Proof Of Being Endowed With Noble Qualities Is To Be Free From Envy.

A Lofty Mind Always Thinks Nobly, It Easily Creates Vivid, Agreeable, And Natural Fancies, Places Them In Their Best Light, Clothes Them With All Appropriate Adornments, Studies Others' Tastes, And Clears Away From Its Own Thoughts All That Is Useless And Disagreeable.

We Torment Ourselves Rather To Make It Appear That We Are Happy Than To Become So.
