A Refusal Of Praise Is A Desire

High Fortune Makes Both Our Virtues And Vices Stand Out As Objects That Are Brought Clearly To View By The Light.

What We Take For High-mindedness Is Very Often No Other Than Ambition Well Disguised, That Scorns Means Interests, Only To Pursuegreater.

No Man Is Clever Enough To Know All The Evil He Does.

When Our Vices Leave Us, We Like To Imagine It Is We Who Are Leaving Them.

Perfect Courage Is To Do Without Witnesses What One Would Be Capable Of Doing With The World Looking On.
