The Happiness And Misery Of Men Depend

The Esteem Of Good Men Is The Reward Of Our Worth, But The Reputation Of The World In General Is The Gift Of Our Fate.

It Is A Great Act Of Cleverness To Be Able To Conceal One's Being Clever.

The Principal Point Of Cleverness Is To Know How To Value Things Just As They Deserve.

What Is Called Generosity Is Usually Only The Vanity Of Giving; We Enjoy The Vanity More Than The Thing Given.

We Seldom Praise Anyone In Good Earnest, Except Such As Admire Us.
