Envy Is More Incapable Of Reconciliation Than

We Easily Forget Crimes That Are Known To None But Ourselves.

The Common Foible Of Women Who Have Been Handsome Is To Forget That They Are No Longer So.

What We Cut Off From Our Other Faults Is Very Often But So Much Added To Our Pride.

We Are Deceived If We Think That Mind And Judgment Are Two Different Matters: Judgment Is But The Extent Of The Light Of The Mind. This Light Penetrates To The Bottom Of Matters; It Remarks All That Can Be Remarked, And Perceives What Appears Imperceptible. Therefore We Must Agree That It Is The Extent Of The Light In The Mind That Produces All The Effects Which We Attribute To Judgment.

We Do Not Lack Strength So Much As The Will To Use It; And Very Often Our Imagining That Things Are Impossible Is Nothing But An Excuse Of Our Own Contriving, To Reconcile Ourselves To Our Own Idleness.
