When Our Vices Desert Us, We Flatter

He Who Refuses Praise The First Time That It Is Offered Does So Because He Would Hear It A Second Time.

He That Fancies Such A Sufficiency In Himself That He Can Live Without All The World Is Greatly Mistaken; But He That Imagines Himself So Necessary That Other People Cannot Live Without Him Is A Great Deal More Mistaken.

Old People Love To Give Good Advice; It Compensates Them For Their Inability To Set A Bad Example.

Few Things Are Impracticable In Themselves; And It Is For Want Of Application, Rather Than Of Means, That Men Fail To Succeed.

If We Resist Our Passions, It Is More Due To Their Weakness Than Our Strength.
