Pride Has A Greater Share Than Goodness In The Reproofs We Give Other People For Their Faults; And We Chide Them Not So Much To Make Them Mend Those Faults As To Make Them Believe That We Ourselves Are Without Fault.

Envy Is More Incapable Of Reconciliation Than Hatred Is.

Ridicule Dishonors A Man More Than Dishonor Does.

Great Souls Are Not Those Who Have Fewer Passions And More Virtues Than Others, But Only Those Who Have Greater Designs.

Honest People Will Respect Us For Our Merit: The Public, For Our Luck.
