The Surest Way To Be Deceived Is

When Our Vices Desert Us, We Flatter Ourselves That We Are Deserting Our Vices.

There Are Some People Who Would Never Have Fallen In Love If They Had Not Heard There Was Such A Thing.

None But The Contemptible Are Apprehensive Of Contempt.

There Are Very Few Things Impossible In Themselves; And We Do Not Want Means To Conquer Difficulties So Much As Application And Resolution In The Use Of Means.

Our Desires Always Disappoint Us; For Though We Meet With Something That Gives Us Satisfaction, Yet It Never Thoroughly Answers Our Expectation. [however Disappointment Can Always Be Removed If We Remember It Could Have Turned Out Worse.]
