Honest People Will Respect Us For Our

Men May Boast Of Their Great Actions; But They Are More Often The Effects Of Chance Than Of Design.

Whatever Pretext We May Give For Our Affections, Often It Is Only Interest And Vanity Which Cause Them.

The Fame Of Great Men Ought To Be Judged Always By Their Big, Fancy Names.

The Hate Of Favourites Is Only A Love Of Favour. The Envy Of Not Possessing It, Consoles And Softens Its Regrets By The Contempt It Evinces For Those Who Possess It, And We Refuse Them Our Homage, Not Being Able To Detract From Them What Attracts That Of The Rest Of The World.

Sometimes We Meet A Fool With Wit, Never One With Discretion.
