The Height Of Cleverness Is To Be

We Easily Forgive Our Friends Those Faults That Do No Affect Us Ourselves.

Men Would Not Live In Society Long If They Were Not Each Others Dupes.

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

We Should Often Blush At Our Noblest Deeds If The World Were To See All Their Underlying Motives.

Pity Is A Sense Of Our Own Misfortunes In Those Of Another Man; It Is A Sort Of Foresight Of The Disasters Which May Befall Ourselves. We Assist Others,, In Order That They May Assist Us On Like Occasions; So That The Services We Offer To The Unfortunate Are In Reality So Many Anticipated Kindnesses To Ourselves.
