One Believes In What One Wants To

Nothing Is So Easy As To Deceive One's Self; For What We Wish, That We Readily Believe; But Such Expectations Are Often Inconsistent With The Real State Of Things.

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

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