Nothing Is Easier Than Self-deceit.

To Remind A Man Of The Good Turns You Have Done Him Is Very Much Like A Reproach.

As A Vessel Is Known By The Sound, Whether It Be Cracked Or Not; So Men Are Proved, By Their Speeches, Whether They Be Wise Or Foolish.

Whatever Shall Be To The Advantage Of All, May That Prevail!

Great And Unexpected Successes Are Often The Cause Of Foolish Rushing Into Acts Of Extravagance.

No Man Who Is Not Willing To Help Himself Has Any Right To Apply To His Friends, Or To The Gods.
