Some Beautiful Things Are More

We All Have Enough Strength To Endure The Misfortunes Of Others.

Virtues Lose Themselves In Self-interest, As Rivers In The Sea.

In Order To Succeed In The World People Do Their Upmost To Appear Successful.

We Often Pride Ourselves On Even The Most Criminal Passions, But Envy Is A Timid And Shamefaced Passion We Never Dare To Acknowledge.

Love Of Fame, Fear Of Disgrace, Schemes For Advancement, Desire To Make Life Comfortable And Pleasant, And The Urge To Humiliate Others Are Often At The Root Of The Valour Men Hold In Such High Esteem.
