Ridicule Dishonours More Than Dishonour.

We Have No Patience With Other People's Vanity Because It Is Offensive To Our Own.

The Trust That We Put In Ourselves Makes Us Feel Trust In Others.

Men Are Inconsolable Concerning The Treachery Of Their Friends Or The Deceptions Of Their Enemies; And Yet They Are Often Very Highly Satisfied To Be Both Deceived And Betrayed By Their Own Selves.

There Is No Better Proof Of A Man's Being Truly Good Than His Desiring To Be Constantly Under The Observation Of Good Men.

When We Disclaim Praise, It Is Only Showing Our Desire To Be Praised A Second Time.
