Without Humility, We Keep All Our Defects;

The World More Often Rewards The Appearances Of Merit Than Merit Itself.

We Often Bore Others When We Think We Cannot Possibly Bore Them.

Friendship Is Only A Reciprocal Conciliation Of Interests, And An Exchange Of Good Offices; It Is A Species Of Commerce Out Of Which Self-love Always Expects To Gain Something.

Few People Know Death, We Only Endure It, Usually From Determination, And Even From Stupidity And Custom; And Most Men Only Die Because They Know Not How To Prevent Dying.

Women Know Not The Whole Of Their Coquetry.
