Before We Set Our Hearts Too Much

Our Concern For The Loss Of Our Friends Is Not Always From A Sense Of Their Worth, But Rather Of Our Own Need Of Them And That We Have Lost Some Who Had A Good Opinion Of Us.

He That Fancies Such A Sufficiency In Himself That He Can Live Without All The World Is Greatly Mistaken; But He That Imagines Himself So Necessary That Other People Cannot Live Without Him Is A Great Deal More Mistaken.

Nothing Prevents One From Appearing Natural As The Desire To Appear Natural.

When Our Vices Desert Us, We Flatter Ourselves That We Are Deserting Our Vices.

We Had Better Appear What We Are, Than Affect To Appear What We Are Not.
