Most People Judge Men By Their Success

The Breeding We Give Young People Is Ordinarily But An Additional Self-love, By Which We Make Them Have A Better Opinion Of Themselves.

We Are Inconsolable At Being Deceived By Our Enemies And Being Betrayed By Our Friends, Yet We Are Often Content In Be Being Treated Like That By Our Own Selves.

A Clever Man Should Handle His Interests So That Each Will Fall In Suitable Order Of Their Value.

Nothing Is Rarer Than True Good Nature; They Who Are Reputed To Have It Are Generally Only Pliant Or Weak.

Whilst Weakness And Timidity Keep Us To Our Duty, Virtue Has Often All The Honor.
