Men Sometimes Think They Hate

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

It Takes More Strength Of Character To Withstand Good Fortune Than Bad.

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.

Humility Is Often Only Feigned Submission Which People Use To Render Others Submissive. It Is A Subterfuge Of Pride Which Lowers Itself In Order To Rise.

What Renders Other People's Vanity Insufferable Is That It Wounds Our Own.
