Those Who Fear Men Like Laws.

In Order To Do Great Things, It Is Necessary To Live As If One Was Never To Die.

Excessive Distrust Is Not Less Hurtfjul Than Its Opposite. Most Men Become Useless To Him Who Is Unwilling To Risk Being Deceived.

Men Dissimulate Their Dearest, Most Constant, And Most Virtuous Inclination From Weakness And A Fear Of Being Condemned.

Prosperity Makes Some Friends And Many Enemies.

Neither The Gifts Nor The Blows Of Fortune Equal Those Of Nature.
