Tis A Sort Of Coquetry To Boast

If We Never Flattered Ourselves We Should Have But Scant Pleasure.

Nothing Ought More To Humiliate Men Who Have Merited Great Praise Than The Care They Still Take To Boast Of Little Things.

Gratitude Is Merely The Secret Hope Of Further Favors.

Great Names Abase, Instead Of Elevating, Those Who Do Not Know How To Bear Them.

What Seems To Be Generosity Is Often No More Than Disguised Ambition, Which Overlooks A Small Interest In Order To Secure A Great One.
