We Are Eager To Believe That Others

In The Presence Of Some People We Inevitably Depart From Ourselves: We Are Inaccurate, We Say Things We Do Not Feel, And Talk Nonsense. When We Get Home We Are Conscious That We Have Made Fools Of Ourselves. Never Go Near These People.

The Only Thing That Should Astonish Us Is That Anything Can Yet Astonish Us.

As The Great Ones Of This World Are Unable To Bestow Health Of Body Or Peace Of Mind, We Always Pay Too High A Price For Any Good They Can Do.

Second-rate Minds Usually Condemn Everything Beyond Their Grasp.

We Seldom Find Any Person Of Good Sense, Except Those Who Share Our Opinions.
