We Never Desire Strongly, What We Desire

There Is No Praise We Have Not Lavished Upon Prudence; And Yet She Cannot Assure To Us The Most Trifling Event.

To Understand Matters Rightly We Should Understand Their Details; And As That Knowledge Is Almost Infinite, Our Knowledge Is Always Superficial And Imperfect.

There Are No Circumstances, However Unfortunate, That Clever People Do Not Extract Some Advantage From.

What Makes False Reckoning, As Regards Gratitude, Is That The Pride Of The Giver And The Receiver Cannot Agree As To The Value Of The Benefit.

Lovers, When They Are No Longer In Love, Find It Very Hard To Break Up.
