Prudence And Love Are Inconsistent; In Proportion

The Judgments Our Enemies Make About Us Come Nearer To The Truth Than Those We Make About Ourselves.

Treachery Is More Often The Effect Of Weakness Than Of A Formed Design.

Humility Is Often Merely Feigned Submissiveness Assumed In Order To Subject Others, An Artifice Of Pride Which Stoops To Conquer, And Although Pride Has A Thousand Ways Of Transforming Itself It Is Never So Well Disguised And Able To Take People In As When Masquerading As Humility.

A Respectable Man May Love Madly, But Not Foolishly.

Penetration Has An Air Of Divination; It Pleases Our Vanity More Than Any Other Quality Of The Mind.
