To Achieve Greatness One Should Live As

People Are Often Vain Of Their Passions, Even Of The Worst, But Envy Is A Passion So Timid And Shame-faced That No One Ever Dare Avow Her.

People Would Not Long Remain In Social Life If They Were Not The Dupes Of Each Other.

Madmen And Fools See Everything Through The Medium Of Humor.

The Passions Do Very Often Give Birth To Others Of A Nature Most Contrary To Their Own. Thus Avarice Sometimes Brings Forth Prodigality, And Prodigality Avarice; A Man's Resolution Is Very Often The Effect Of Levity, And His Boldness That Of Cowardice And Fear.

There Is Nothing Men Are So Generous Of As Advice.
