Passion Often Renders The Most

We Easily Forget Our Faults When No One Knows Them But Ourselves.

The Passions Are The Only Orators Which Always Persuade.

To Praise Princes For Virtues They Do Not Possess Is To Insult Them Without Fear Of Consequences.

To Establish Oneself In The World, One Does All One Can To Seem Established There Already.

A Wise Man Should Order His Interests, And Set Them All In Their Proper Places. This Order Is Often Troubled By Greed, Which Putsus Upon Pursuing So Many Things At Once That, In Eagerness For Matters Of Less Consideration, We Grasp At Trifles, And Let Go Things Of Greater Value.
