We Rarely Think People Have Good Sense

Nothing Is So Contagious As Example; And We Never Do Any Great Good Or Evil Which Does Not Produce Its Like.

We Are Much Harder On People Who Betray Us In Small Ways Than On People Who Betray Others In Great Ones.

Few Things Are Impossible In Themselves: Application To Make Them Succeed Fails Us More Often Than The Means.

Few Things Are Impracticable In Themselves; And It Is For Want Of Application, Rather Than Of Means, That Men Fail To Succeed.

We Forget Our Faults Easily When They Are Known To Ourselves Alone.
