The Passions Are The Only Orators Which

We Easily Forget Our Faults When No One Knows Them But Ourselves.

It Is Impossible To Love A Second Time What We Have Really Ceased To Love.

Were We Faultless, We Would Not Derive Such Satisfaction From Remarking The Faults Of Others.

Our Repentances Are Generally Not So Much A Concern And Remorse For The Harm We Have Done, As A Fear Of The Harm We May Have Brought Upon Ourselves.

Gratitude Is Like The Good Faith Of Traders: It Maintains Commerce, And We Often Pay, Not Because It Is Just To Discharge Our Debts, But That We May More Readily Find People To Trust Us.
