We Are Never So Generous As When

Absence Diminishes Mediocre Passions And Increases Great Ones, As The Wind Extinguishes Candles And Fans Fires.

Humility Is The Worst Form Of Conceit.

None But Great Men Are Capable Of Having Great Flaws.

None Deserve Praise For Being Good Who Have Not The Spirit To Be Bad: Goodness, For The Most Part, Is Nothing But Indolence Or Weakness Of Will.

We Are Sometimes As Different From Ourselves As We Are From Others.
