Hope, Deceiving As It Is,

However Glorious An Action In Itself, It Ought Not To Pass For Great If It Be Not The Effect Of Wisdom And Intention.

Our Actions Are Like The Terminations Of Verses, Which We Rhyme As We Please.

Few Are Sufficiently Wise To Prefer Censure Which Is Useful To Praise Which Is Treacherous.

It Is Far Better To Be Deceived Than Undeceived By Those Whom We Tenderly Love.

Marriage Is The Only War In Which You Sleep With The Enemy.
