It Is Easier To Rule

Magnanimity Is Sufficiently Defined By Its Name, Nevertheless One Can Say It Is The Good Sense Of Pride, The Most Noble Way Of Receiving Praise.

We Often Shed Tears That Deceive Ourselves After Deceiving Others.

The Man That Thinks He Loves His Mistress For Her Own Sake Is Mightily Mistaken.

We Are Deceived If We Think That Mind And Judgment Are Two Different Matters: Judgment Is But The Extent Of The Light Of The Mind. This Light Penetrates To The Bottom Of Matters; It Remarks All That Can Be Remarked, And Perceives What Appears Imperceptible. Therefore We Must Agree That It Is The Extent Of The Light In The Mind That Produces All The Effects Which We Attribute To Judgment.

We Are Inconsolable At Being Deceived By Our Enemies And Being Betrayed By Our Friends, Yet We Are Often Content In Be Being Treated Like That By Our Own Selves.
