Our Virtues Are Often, In Reality, No

We Often Do Shallow Good In Order To Accomplish Evil With Impunity.

What Seems To Be Generosity Is Often No More Than Disguised Ambition, Which Overlooks A Small Interest In Order To Secure A Great One.

A Man, In Order To Establish Himself In The World, Does Everything He Can To Appear Established There.

It Is Necessary, In Order To Know Things Well, To Know The Particulars Of Them; And These, Being Infinite, Make Our Knowledge Eversuperficial And Imperfect.

In Love, The Quickest Is Always The Best Cure.
