We Sometimes Imagine We Hate Flattery, But

Avarice Is More Opposite To Economy Than Liberality.

We Cannot Possibly Imagine The Variety Of Contradictions In Every Heart.

In The Human Heart One Generation Of Passions Follows Another; From The Ashes Of One Springs The Spark Of The Next.

It Is Harder To Hide The Feelings We Have Than To Feign The Ones We Do Not Have.

There Is A Form Of Eminence Which Does Not Depend On Fate; It Is An Air Which Sets Us Apart And Seems To Prtend Great Things; It Is The Value Which We Unconsciously Attach To Ourselves; It Is The Quality Which Wins Us Deference Of Others; More Than Birth, Position, Or Ability, It Gives Us Ascendance.
