We Have Not Enough Strength To Follow

Our Own Distrust Gives A Fair Pretence For The Knavery Of Other People.

Pride Does Not Wish To Owe And Vanity Does Not Wish To Pay.

The Passions Often Engender Their Contraries.

For Envy, Like Lightning, Generally Strikes At The Top Or Any Point Which Sticks Out From The Ordinary Level. Lucretius, De Rerum Natura Our Envy Always Outlives The Felicity Of Its Object.

The Reason We Do Not Let Our Friends See The Very Bottom Of Our Hearts Is Not So Much Distrust Of Them As Distrust Of Ourselves.
