To Be A Great Man It Is

Spiritual Health Is No More Stable Than Bodily; And Though We May Seem Unaffected By The Passions We Are Just As Liable To Be Carried Away By Them As To Fall Ill When In Good Health.

The Distempers Of The Soul Have Their Relapses, As Many And As Dangerous As Those Of The Body; And What We Take For A Perfect Cureis Generally Either An Abatement Of The Same Disease Or The Changing Of That For Another.

Only The Great Can Afford To Have Great Defects.

Our Wisdom Lies As Much At The Mercy Of Fortune As Our Possessions Do.

Idiots And Lunatics See Only Their Own Wit.
