Sometimes There Are Accidents In

It Is Difficult To Define Love; All We Can Say Is, That In The Soul It Is A Desire To Rule, In The Mind It Is A Sympathy, And In The Body It Is A Hidden And Delicate Wish To Possess What We Love-plus Many Mysteries.

A Readiness To Believe Ill Of Others, Before We Have Duly Examined It, Is The Effect Of Laziness And Pride. We Are Eager To Find Aculprit, And Loath To Give Ourselves The Trouble Of Examining The Crime.

Perfect Behavior Is Born Of Complete Indifference.

Nature Makes Merit, And Fortune Puts It To Work.

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