A Learned Fool Is More

The Defects Of Human Nature Afford Us Opportunities Of Exercising Our Philosophy, The Best Employment Of Our Virtues. If All Men Were Righteous, All Hearts True And Frank And Loyal, What Use Would Our Virtues Be?

Words And Deeds Are Far From Being One. Much That Is Talked About Is Left Undone.

Folk Whose Own Behavior Is Most Ridiculous Are Always To The Fore In Slandering Others.

There Is No Reward So Delightful, No Pleasure So Exquisite, As Having One's Work Known And Acclaimed By Those Whose Applause Confers Honor.

Virtue Is The First Title Of Nobility.
