The Height Of Ability In The Least

Before We Passionately Desire A Thing, We Should Examine The Happiness Of Its Possessor.

Narrow Minds Think Nothing Right That Is Above Their Own Capacity.

People Are Often Vain Of Their Passions, Even Of The Worst, But Envy Is A Passion So Timid And Shame-faced That No One Ever Dare Avow Her.

What We Cut Off From Our Other Faults Is Very Often But So Much Added To Our Pride.

Pity Is Often A Reflection Of Our Own Evils In The Ills Of Others. It Is A Delicate Foresight Of The Troubles Into Which We May Fall.
