The Strongest Passion Is Fear.

One Often Has Need Of One Inferior To Himself.

There's Nothing Sweeter Than A Real Friend: Not Only Is He Prompt To Lend— An Angler Delicate, He Fishes The Very Deepest Of Your Wishes, And Spares Your Modesty The Task His Friendly Aid To Ask. A Dream, A Shadow, Wakes His Fear, When Pointing At The Object Dear.

The Fastidious Are Unfortunate: Nothing Can Satisfy Them. [lat., Les Delicats Sont Malheureux, Rien Ne Saurait Les Satisfaire.]

Be Advised That All Flatterers Live At The Expense Of Those Who Listen To Them.

Nothing Weighs On Us So Heavily As A Secret.
