A Wise Man Thinks It

A Man Is Ridiculous Less Through The Characteristics He Has Than Through Those He Affects To Have.

Innocence Does Not Find Near So Much Protection As Guilt.

They That Apply Themselves To Trifling Matters Commonly Become Incapable Of Great Ones.

Men Are Not Only Prone To Forget Benefits; They Even Hate Those Who Have Obliged Them, And Cease To Hate Those Who Have Injured Them. The Necessity Of Revenging An Injury, Or Of Recompensing A Benefit Seems A Slavery To Which They Are Unwilling To Submit.

There Are Few People Who Are More Often In The Wrong Than Those Who Cannot Endure To Be So.
