When We Exaggerate Our Friends' Tenderness Towards Us, It Is Often Less From Gratitude Than From A Desire To Exhibit Our Own Virtue.

The Qualities We Have, Make Us So Ridiculous As Those Which We Affect.

Unfaithfulness Ought To Extinguish Love, And We Should Not Be Jealous When There Is Reason To Be. Only Those Who Give No Grounds For Jealousy Are Worthy Of It.

We Are So Accustomed To Disguise Ourselves To Others That In The End We Become Disguised To Ourselves.

To Praise Great Actions Is In Some Sense To Share Them.
