The Gratitude Of Most Men Is But

What Often Prevents Our Abandoning Ourselves To A Single Vice Is, Our Having More Than One.

The Head Does Not Know How To Play The Part Of The Heart For Long.

It Is A Mighty Error To Suppose That None But Violent And Strong Passions, Such As Love And Ambition, Are Able To Vanquish The Rest. Even Idleness, As Feeble And Languishing As It Is, Sometimes Reigns Over Them; It Usurps The Throne And Sits Paramount Over All The Designs And Actions Of Our Lives, And Imperceptibly Wastes And Destroys All Our Passions And All Our Virtues.

People Are More Slanderous From Vanity Than From Malice.

We Rarely Think People Have Good Sense Unless They Agree With Us.
