Without Humility, We Keep All Our Defects;

A Man Is Ridiculous Less Through The Characteristics He Has Than Through Those He Affects To Have.

We Get So Much In The Habit Of Wearing Disguises Before Others That We Finally Appear Disguised Before Ourselves.

Perseverance Is Neither Praiseworthy Nor Blameworthy; For It Seems To Be Only The Enduring Of Certain Inclinations And Opinions Which Men Neither Give Themselves Nor Take Away From Themselves.

Cunning And Treachery Are The Offspring Of Incapacity.

We Should Gain More By Letting The World See What We Are Than By Trying To Seem What We Are Not.
