We Often Act Treacherously More From Weakness

True Bravery Is Shown By Performing Without Witness What One Might Be Capable Of Doing Before All The World.

In The Human Heart There Is A Ceaseless Birth Of Passions, So That The Destruction Of One Is Almost Always The Establishment Of Another.

Pride, Which Inspires Us With So Much Envy, Is Sometimes Of Use Toward The Moderating Of It Too.

If There Be A Love Pure And Free From The Admixture Of Our Other Passions, It Is That Which Lies Hidden In The Bottom Of Our Heart, And Which We Know Not Ourselves.

The Desire To Seem Clever Often Keeps Us From Being So.
