Without Humility, We Keep All Our Defects;

We Often Act Treacherously More From Weakness Than From A Fixed Motive.

The Intellect Of The Generality Of Women Serves More To Fortify Their Folly Than Their Reason.

Though Nature Be Ever So Generous, Yet Can She Not Make A Hero Alone. Fortune Must Contribute Her Part Too; And Till Both Concur, The Work Cannot Be Perfected.

However Glorious An Action In Itself, It Ought Not To Pass For Great If It Be Not The Effect Of Wisdom And Intention.

Our Actions Seem To Have Their Lucky And Unlucky Stars, To Which A Great Part Of That Blame And That Commendation Is Due Which Is Given To The Actions Themselves.
