We Seldom Praise Anyone In Good Earnest,

When Great Men Permit Themselves To Be Cast Down By The Continuance Of Misfortune, They Show Us That They Were Only Sustained By Ambition, And Not By Their Mind; So That Plus A Great Vanity, Heroes Are Made Like Other Men.

Sometimes We Think We Dislike Flattery, But It Is Only The Way It Is Done That We Dislike.

Politeness Of The Mind Is To Have Delicate Thoughts

The Person Giving The Advice Returns The Confidence Placed In Him With A Disinterested Eagerness... And He Is Usually Guided Only By His Own Interest Or Reputation.

What Makes Vanity So Insufferable To Us, Is That It Hurts Our Own.
