No One Thinks Fortune So

Treachery Is More Often The Effect Of Weakness Than Of A Formed Design.

Great And Glorious Events Which Dazzle The Beholder Are Represented By Politicians As The Outcome Of Grand Designs Whereas They Are Usually Products Of Temperaments And Passions.

Absence Diminishes Mediocre Passions And Increases Great Ones, As The Wind Extinguishes Candles And Fans Fires.

Some Counterfeits Reproduce So Very Well The Truth That It Would Be A Flaw Of Judgment Not To Be Deceived By Them.

Were We Faultless, We Would Not Derive Such Satisfaction From Remarking The Faults Of Others.
