It Is Easier To Be

The Duration Of Our Passions Is No More Dependent On Ourselves Than The Duration Of Our Lives.

One Can No More Look Steadily At Death Than At The Sun.

The Head Does Not Know How To Play The Part Of The Heart For Long.

No One Thinks Fortune So Blind As Those She Has Been Least Kind To.

We Love Everything On Our Own Account; We Even Follow Our Own Taste And Inclination When We Prefer Our Friends To Ourselves; And Yet It Is This Preference Alone That Constitutes True And Perfect Friendship.
