Passion Often Renders The Most Clever Man

Men May Boast Of Their Great Actions; But They Are More Often The Effects Of Chance Than Of Design.

If We Took As Much Pains To Be What We Ought, As We Do To Deceive Others By Disguising What We Are; We Might Appear As We Are, Without Being At The Trouble Of Any Disguise.

The Truest Mark Of Being Born With Great Qualities Is To Be Born Without Envy.

It Is Easier To Rule Others Than To Keep From Being Ruled Oneself.

What Makes Vanity So Insufferable To Us, Is That It Hurts Our Own.
