Magnanimity Is Sufficiently Defined By Its Name,

Funeral Pomp Is More For The Vanity Of The Living Than For The Honor Of The Dead.

Man Only Blames Himself In Order That He May Be Praised.

It Is Necessary, In Order To Know Things Well, To Know The Particulars Of Them; And These, Being Infinite, Make Our Knowledge Eversuperficial And Imperfect.

A Lofty Mind Always Thinks Nobly, It Easily Creates Vivid, Agreeable, And Natural Fancies, Places Them In Their Best Light, Clothes Them With All Appropriate Adornments, Studies Others' Tastes, And Clears Away From Its Own Thoughts All That Is Useless And Disagreeable.

We Only Acknowledge Small Faults In Order To Make It Appear That We Are Free From Great Ones.
