They May Attack Me With An Army

In Short, No Association Or Alliance Can Be Happy Or Stable Without Me. People Can't Long Tolerate A Ruler, Nor Can A Master His Servant, A Maid Her Mistress, A Teacher His Pupil, A Friend His Friend Nor A Wife Her Husband, A Landlord His Tenant, A Soldier His Comrade Nor A Party-goer His Companion, Unless They Sometimes Have Illusions About Each Other, Make Use Of Flattery, And Have The Sense To Turn A Blind Eye And Sweeten Life For Themselves With The Honey Of Folly.

Nothing Is As Peevish And Pedantic As Men's Judgments Of One Another.

A Good Portion Of Speaking Will Consist In Knowing How To Lie.

Concealed Talent Brings No Reputation.

It Is Wisdom In Prosperity, When All Is As Thou Wouldn't Have It, To Fear And Suspect The Worst.
