A Man Does Not Please

The Most Subtle Of Our Acts Is To Simulate Blindness For Snares That We Know Are Set For Us.

The Largest Ambition Has The Least Appearance Of Ambition When It Meets With An Absolute Impossibility In Compassing Its Object.

We Sometimes Condemn The Present, By Praising The Past; And Show Our Contempt Of What Is Now, By Our Esteem For What Is No More.

Before We Set Our Hearts Too Much Upon Anything, Let Us Examine How Happy They Are, Who Already Possess It.

No Men Are Oftener Wrong Than Those That Can Least Bear To Be So.
