Happiness Is Meant To Be Shared.

I Can Be Forced To Live Without Happiness, But I Will Never Consent To Live Without Honor.

Self-love Is The Source Of All Our Other Loves.

Generosity Is The Accompaniment Of High Birth; Pity And Gratitude Are Its Attendants.

The Worst Of All States Is The Democratic State.

Ambition Becomes Displeasing When It Is Once Satiated; There Is A Reaction; And As Our Spirit, Till Our Last Sigh, Is Always Aiming Toward Some Object, It Falls Back On Itself, Having Nothing Else On Which To Rest; And Having Reached The Summit, It Longs To Descend.
