We Easily Forget Our Faults When No

To Praise Great Actions With Sincerity May Be Said To Be Taking Part In Them.

That Conduct Often Seems Ridiculous The Secret Reasons Of Which Are Wise And Solid.

Few Things Are Needful To Make The Wise Man Happy, But Nothing Satisfies The Fool; - And This Is The Reason Why So Many Of Mankind Are Miserable.

It Is A Mighty Error To Suppose That None But Violent And Strong Passions, Such As Love And Ambition, Are Able To Vanquish The Rest. Even Idleness, As Feeble And Languishing As It Is, Sometimes Reigns Over Them; It Usurps The Throne And Sits Paramount Over All The Designs And Actions Of Our Lives, And Imperceptibly Wastes And Destroys All Our Passions And All Our Virtues.

We Often Shed Tears That Deceive Ourselves After Deceiving Others.
