A Man Does Not Please Long When

We Bear, All Of Us, The Misfortunes Of Other People With Heroic Constancy.

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

It Is Only Persons Of Firmness That Can Have Real Gentleness. Those Who Appear Gentle Are, In General, Only A Weak Character, Which Easily Changes Into Asperity.

There Is No Accident So Unfortunate But Wise Men Will Make Some Advantage Of It, Nor Any So Entirely Fortunate But Fools May Turn It To Their Own Prejudice.

We Should Often Blush At Our Noblest Deeds If The World Were To See All Their Underlying Motives.
