The Most Violent Passions Sometimes Leave Us

The Happiness And Unhappiness Of Men Depends As Much On Their Ethics As On Fortune.

The Health Of The Soul Is Something We Can Be No More Sure Of Than That Of The Body; And Though A Man May Seem Far From The Passions, Yet He Is In As Much Danger Of Falling Into Them As One In A Perfect State Of Health Of Having A Fit Of Sickness.

The Older A Fool Is, The Worse He Is.

When Our Vices Leave Us, We Like To Imagine It Is We Who Are Leaving Them.

It Is Often Laziness And Timidity That Keep Us Within Our Duty While Virtue Gets All The Credit.
