The Readiest And Surest Way To Get

There Is A Great Deal Of Wishful Thinking In Such Cases It Is The Easiest Thing Of All To Deceive Ones Self.

To Remind A Man Of The Good Turns You Have Done Him Is Very Much Like A Reproach.

He Who Confers A Favor Should At Once Forget It, If He Is Not To Show A Sordid Ungenerous Spirit. To Remind A Man Of A Kindness Conferred And To Talk Of It, Is Little Different From Reproach.

Nothing Is So Easy As To Deceive One's Self; For What We Wish, That We Readily Believe; But Such Expectations Are Often Inconsistent With The Real State Of Things.

Nothing Is Easier Than Self-deceit.
