We Seldom Praise Anyone In Good Earnest,

If It Were Not For The Company Of Fools, A Witty Man Would Often Be Greatly At A Loss.

Οur Own Distrust Somewhat Justifies The Deceit Of Others.

Honest People Will Respect Us For Our Merit: The Public, For Our Luck.

Ridicule Dishonors A Man More Than Dishonor Does.

In The Human Heart New Passions Are Forever Being Born; The Overthrow Of One Almost Always Means The Rise Of Another.
