Many Men Are Contemptuous Of Riches; Few

Everyone Takes Pleasure In Returning Small Obligations, Many People Acknowledge Moderate Ones; But There Are Only A Scarce Few Who Do Not Pay Great Ones With Ingratitude.

The Moderation Of Men In The Most Exalted Fortunes Is A Desire To Be Thought Above Those Things That Have Raised Them So High.

We Rarely Ever Perceive Others As Being Sensible, Except For Those Who Agree With Us.

The Heart Of Man Ever Finds A Constant Succession Of Passions, So That The Destroying And Pulling Down Of One Proves Generally Tobe Nothing Else But The Production And The Setting Up Of Another.

We Have Not Strength Enough To Follow Our Reason So Far As It Would Carry Us.
