Most Men, Like Plants, Possess Hidden Qualities

The Happiness And Misery Of Men Depend No Less On Temper Than Fortune.

We Easily Forgive Our Friends Those Faults That Do No Affect Us Ourselves.

Some Crimes Get Honor And Renown By Being Committed With More Pomp, By A Greater Number, And In A Higher Degree Of Wickedness Thanothers. Hence It Is That Public Robberies, Plunderings, And Sackings Have Been Looked Upon As Excellencies And Noble Achievements, And The Seizing Of Whole Countries, However Unjustly And Barbarously, Is Dignified With The Glorious Name Of Gaining Conquests.

Sometimes We Think We Dislike Flattery, But It Is Only The Way It Is Done That We Dislike.

Criticism Sometimes Is Really Praise, And Praise Sometimes Slander.
