I Have Deserved Neither So Much Honor

These Flattering Mirrors Reflect Imperfectly What Is Within; The Countenance Is Often A Gay Deceiver. What Defects Of Mind Lie Hidden Under Its Beauty! What Fair Exteriors Conceal Base Souls!

Severity Is Allowable Where Gentleness Has No Effect.

He Who Forgives Readily Only Invites Offense.

I See, I Know, I Believe, I Am Undeceived.

It Is Hard To Hate What One Has Loved, And A Half-extinguished Fire Is Soon Relit.
