What Makes Us So Bitter Against People

Virtue Would Not Make Such Advances If There Were Not A Little Vanity To Keep It Company.

Nothing Is More Contagious Than Example, And No Man Does Any Exceeding Good Or Exceeding Ill But It Spawns New Deeds Of The Same Kind. The Good We Imitate Through Emulation, The Ill Through The Malignity Of Our Nature, Which Shame Keeps Locked Up, But Example Sets Free.

Our Enemies' Opinion Of Us Comes Closer To The Truth Than Our Own.

Affected Simplicity Is An Elegant Imposture.

Gratitude Is Merely The Secret Hope Of Further Favors.
