Pride Does Not Wish To Owe And

The World More Often Rewards The Appearances Of Merit Than Merit Itself.

There Is No Accident So Unfortunate But Wise Men Will Make Some Advantage Of It, Nor Any So Entirely Fortunate But Fools May Turn It To Their Own Prejudice.

The Tranquility Or Agitation Of Our Temper Does Not Depend So Much On The Big Things Which Happen To Us In Life, As On The Pleasant Or Unpleasant Arrangements Of The Little Things Which Happen Daily.

We Are Never Either So Fortunate Or So Misfortunate As We Imagine.

Confidence In Conversation Has A Greater Share Than Wit.
