What We Wish, That We Readily Believe.

It Is Not Possible To Found A Lasting Power Upon Injustice, Perjury, And Treachery.

Clouds Cannot Cover Secret Places, Nor Denials Conceal Truth.

One Believes In What One Wants To Believe In.

It Is Impossible For Men Engaged In Low And Groveling Pursuits To Have Noble And Generous Sentiments. A Man's Thought Must Always Follow His Employment.

He Who Confers A Favor Should At Once Forget It, If He Is Not To Show A Sordid Ungenerous Spirit. To Remind A Man Of A Kindness Conferred And To Talk Of It, Is Little Different From Reproach.
