Repentance Is No Other Than

I Had Rather Complain Of Ill-fortune Than Be Ashamed Of Victory.

Plenty And Indigence Depend Upon The Opinion Every One Has Of Them; And Riches, Like Glory Of Health, Have No More Beauty Or Pleasure Than Their Possessor Is Pleaded To Lend Them.

The Most Unhappy And Frail Creatures Are Men And Yet They Are The Proudest.

He Who Remembers The Evils He Has Undergone, And Those That Have Threatened Him, And The Slight Causes That Have Changed Him From One State To Another, Prepares Himself In That Way For Future Changes And For Recognizing His Condition. The Life Of Caesar Has No More To Show Us Than Our Own; An Emperor's Or An Ordinary Man's, It Is Still A Life Subject To All Human Accidents.

The Most Profound Joy Has More Of Gravity Than Of Gaiety In It.
