It Cannot Be A Vice In Men

Hope Animates The Wise, And Lures The Presumptuous And Indolent Who Repose Inconsiderately On Her Promises.

The Shortness Of Life Cannot Dissuade Us From Its Pleasures, Nor Console Us For Its Pains.

We Are Forced To Respect The Gifts Of Nature, Which Study And Fortune Cannot Give.

Vice Foments War; It Is Virtue Which Actually Fights. If There Were No Virtue, We Would Live In Peace Forever.

If People Did Not Compliment One Another There Would Be Little Society.
