Our Own Distrust Gives A Fair Pretence

Eloquence: Saying The Proper Thing And Stopping.

In Infants, Levity Is A Prettiness; In Men A Shameful Defect; But In Old Age, A Monstrous Folly.

What We Cut Off From Our Other Faults Is Very Often But So Much Added To Our Pride.

However We May Conceal Our Passions Under The Veil ... There Is Always Some Place Where They Peep Out.

In The Presence Of Some People We Inevitably Depart From Ourselves: We Are Inaccurate, We Say Things We Do Not Feel, And Talk Nonsense. When We Get Home We Are Conscious That We Have Made Fools Of Ourselves. Never Go Near These People.
