What Makes False Reckoning, As Regards Gratitude,

We Torment Ourselves Rather To Make It Appear That We Are Happy Than To Become So.

Nothing Is So Capable Of Diminishing Self-love As The Observation That We Disapprove At One Time What We Approve At Another.

One May Outwit Another, But Not All The Others.

We Are Never So Generous As When Giving Advice.

The Better Part Of One's Life Consists Of His Friendships. Abraham Lincoln, Letter To Joseph Gillespie, July 13, 1849 Friendship Is Insipid To Those Who Have Experienced Love.
