We Own Up To Minor Failings, But

We Often See Malefactors, When They Are Led To Execution, Put On Resolution And A Contempt Of Death Which, In Truth, Is Nothing Else But Fearing To Look It In The Face--so That This Pretended Bravery May Very Truly Be Said To Do The Same Good Office To Their Mind That The Blindfold Does To Their Eyes.

Sometimes We Lose Friends For Whose Loss Our Regret Is Greater Than Our Grief, And Others For Whom Our Grief Is Greater Than Our Regret.

Our Minds Are As Much Given To Laziness As Our Bodies.

If We Did Not Flatter Ourselves, The Flattery Of Others Could Never Harm Us.

Those Only Are Despicable Who Fear To Be Despised.
