The Intellect Of The Generality Of Women

Great Men's Honor Ought Always To Be Measured By The Methods They Made Use Of In Attaining It.

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.

We Own Up To Minor Failings, But Only So As To Convince Others That We Have No Major Ones.

Passion Makes Idiots Of The Cleverest Men, And Makes The Biggest Idiots Clever.

Happy People Rarely Correct Their Faults; They Consider Themselves Vindicated, Since Fortune Endorses Their Evil Ways.
