We Easily Forget Our Faults When No

If It Were Not For The Company Of Fools, A Witty Man Would Often Be Greatly At A Loss.

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.

Self-love Is The Greatest Of All Flatterers.

It Is Only Persons Of Firmness That Can Have Real Gentleness. Those Who Appear Gentle Are, In General, Only A Weak Character, Which Easily Changes Into Asperity.

Perseverance Is Neither Praiseworthy Nor Blameworthy; For It Seems To Be Only The Enduring Of Certain Inclinations And Opinions Which Men Neither Give Themselves Nor Take Away From Themselves.
