We Should Gain More By Letting The

The Force We Use On Ourselves, To Prevent Ourselves From Loving, Is Often More Cruel Than The Severest Treatment At The Hands Of One Loved.

Virtue Is The Habit Of Acting According To Wisdom. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, "felicity", Leibniz: Political Writings Virtue Is Harder To Be Got Than Knowledge Of The World; And, If Lost In A Young Man, Is Seldom Recovered. John Locke, Some Thoughts Concerning Education However Wicked Men May Be, They Do Not Dare Openly To Appear The Enemies Of Virtue, And When They Desire To Persecute Her They Either Pretend To Believe Her False Or Attribute Crimes To Her.

We Only Confess Our Little Faults To Persuade People That We Have No Big Ones.

It Is Oftener By The Estimation Of Our Own Feelings That We Exaggerate The Good Qualities Of Others Than By Their Merit, And When We Praise Them We Wish To Attract Their Praise.

Fortune Never Appears So Blind As To Those To Whom She Does No Good.
