When We Disclaim Praise, It Is Only

None But The Contemptible Are Apprehensive Of Contempt.

The Moderation Of Fortunate People Comes From The Calm Which Good Fortune Gives To Their Tempers.

Very Few People Are Acquainted With Death. They Undergo It, Commonly, Not So Much Out Of Resolution As Custom And Insensitivity; And Most Men Die Because They Cannot Help It.

We Are Never Either So Fortunate Or So Misfortunate As We Imagine.

Nothing Is Rarer Than True Good Nature; They Who Are Reputed To Have It Are Generally Only Pliant Or Weak.
