Hope, Deceitful As It Is, Carries Us

We Never Desire Strongly, What We Desire Rationally.

The Confidence Which We Have In Ourselves Give Birth To Much Of That, Which We Have In Others.

One Thing Which Makes Us Find So Few People Who Appear Reasonable And Agreeable In Conversation Is, That There Is Scarcely Any One Who Does Not Think More Of What He Is About To Say Than Of Answering Precisely What Is Said To Him.

Gratitude Is Like The Good Faith Of Traders: It Maintains Commerce, And We Often Pay, Not Because It Is Just To Discharge Our Debts, But That We May More Readily Find People To Trust Us.

To Know How To Hide One's Ability Is Great Skill.
