Vanity, Shame, And Above All Disposition, Often

We Forget Our Faults Easily When They Are Known To Ourselves Alone.

Some Weak People Are So Sensible Of Their Weakness As To Be Able To Make A Good Use Of It.

We Have More Ability Than Will Power, And It Is Often An Excuse To Ourselves That We Imagine That Things Are Impossible.

The Constancy Of The Wise Is Only The Talent Of Concealing The Agitation Of Their Hearts.

If We Took As Much Pains To Be What We Ought, As We Do To Deceive Others By Disguising What We Are; We Might Appear As We Are, Without Being At The Trouble Of Any Disguise.
