Our Probity Is Not Less

It Is Sometimes A Point Of As Much Cleverness To Know To Make Good Use Of Advice From Others As To Be Able Give Good Advice To Oneself.

We Only Acknowledge Small Faults In Order To Make It Appear That We Are Free From Great Ones.

Jealousy Is Not Love, But Self-love.

Nothing Is More Contagious Than Example, And No Man Does Any Exceeding Good Or Exceeding Ill But It Spawns New Deeds Of The Same Kind. The Good We Imitate Through Emulation, The Ill Through The Malignity Of Our Nature, Which Shame Keeps Locked Up, But Example Sets Free.

We Easily Forgive Our Friends Those Faults That Do No Affect Us Ourselves.
