When We Disclaim Praise, It Is Only

We Are Almost Always Bored By Just Those Whom We Must Not Find Boring.

We Are Easily Comforted For The Misfortunes Of Our Friends, When Those Misfortunes Give Us An Occasion Of Expressing Our Affection And Solicitude.

We All Have Enough Strength To Endure The Misfortunes Of Others.

Before We Passionately Desire A Thing, We Should Examine The Happiness Of Its Possessor.

Only The Contemptible Fear Contempt.
