It Is Not Only Old

It Is Natural For The Mind To Believe And For The Will To Love; So That, For Want Of True Objects, They Must Attach Themselves To False.

Do You Wish People To Speak Well Of You? Then Do Not Speak At All Yourself.

For Nature Is An Image Of Grace, And Visible Miracles Are Images Of The Invisible.

Do You Wish People To Think Well Of You? Don't Speak Well Of Yourself.

Eloquence Is A Way Of Saying Things In Such A Way, First, That Those To Whom We Speak May Listen To Them Without Pain And With Pleasure, And Second, That They Feel Themselves Interested, So That Self-love Leads Them More Willingly To Reflection Upon It.
