The Most Violent Passions Sometimes Leave Us

He Is Safe Who Admits No One To His Confidence.

Of All Our Faults, The One We Avow Most Easily Is Idleness; We Persuade Ourselves That It Is Allied To All The Peaceable Virtues,and As For The Others, That It Does Not Destroy Them Utterly, But Only Suspends The Exercise Of Their Functions.

We Should Scarcely Desire Things Ardently If We Were Perfectly Acquainted With What We Desire.

We Rarely Think People Have Good Sense Unless They Agree With Us.

Spiritual Health Is No More Stable Than Bodily; And Though We May Seem Unaffected By The Passions We Are Just As Liable To Be Carried Away By Them As To Fall Ill When In Good Health.
