Truth Does Not Do As Much Good

It Is Often Laziness And Timidity That Keep Us Within Our Duty While Virtue Gets All The Credit.

Happiness Is In The Taste, And Not In The Things Themselves; We Are Happy From Possessing What We Like, Not From Possessing What Others Like.

Without Humility, We Keep All Our Defects; And They Are Only Crusted Over By Pride, Which Conceals Them From Others, And Often From Ourselves.

It Is Far Better To Be Deceived Than Undeceived By Those Whom We Tenderly Love.

We Are Inconsolable At Being Deceived By Our Enemies And Being Betrayed By Our Friends, Yet We Are Often Content In Be Being Treated Like That By Our Own Selves.
