Some Weak People Are So

Self-love Increases Or Diminishes For Us The Good Qualities Of Our Friends, In Proportion To The Satisfaction We Feel With Them; And We Judge Of Their Merit By The Manner In Which They Act Towards Us.

The Only Security Is Courage.

Jealousy Is In A Manner Just And Reasonable, As It Tends To Preserve A Good Which Belongs, Or Which We Believe Belongs To Us, On The Other Hand Envy Is A Fury Which Cannot Endure The Happiness Of Others.

Our Merit Gains Us The Esteem Of The Virtuous-our Star That Of The Public.

When Our Vices Desert Us, We Flatter Ourselves That We Are Deserting Our Vices.
