Prosperity Makes Few Friends.

The Greatest Evil That Fortune Can Bring To Men Is To Endow Them With Feeble Resources And Yet To Make Them Ambitious.

Learn To Overrule Minor Interest In Favor Of Great Ones, And Generously To Do All The Good The Heart Prompts; A Man Is Never Injured By Acting Virtuously.

Indolence Is The Sleep Of The Mind.

We Are So Presumptuous That We Think We Can Separate Our Personal Interest From That Of Humanity, And Slander Mankind Without Compromising Ourselves.
