A Man Would Rather Say Evil Of Himself Than Say Nothing.

It Is Not Always From Valor Or From Chastity That Men Are Brave, And Women Chaste.

The Passions Do Very Often Give Birth To Others Of A Nature Most Contrary To Their Own. Thus Avarice Sometimes Brings Forth Prodigality, And Prodigality Avarice; A Man's Resolution Is Very Often The Effect Of Levity, And His Boldness That Of Cowardice And Fear.

It Is As Commendable To Think Well Of Oneself When Alone, As It Is Ridiculous To Speak Well Of Oneself Among Others.

We Are Never So Easily Deceived As When We Imagine We Are Deceiving Others.
