To Govern Mankind, One Must Not Overrate

A Man's Own Good Breeding Is The Best Security Against Other People's Ill Manners.

Pleasure Is A Necessary Reciprocal. No One Feels, Who Does Not At The Same Time Give It. To Be Pleased, One Must Please. What Pleases You In Others, Will In General Please Them In You.

Judgment Is Not Upon All Occasions Required, But Discretion Always Is.

An Injury Is Much Sooner Forgotten Than An Insult.

Let This Be One Invariable Rule Of Your Conduct--never To Show The Least Symptom Of Resentment, Which You Cannot, To A Certain Degree, Gratify; But Always To Smile, Where You Cannot Strike.
