Speaking Generally, Men Are Ungrateful,

Men Judge Generally More By The Eye Than By The Hand, For Everyone Can See And Few Can Feel. Every One Sees What You Appear To Be, Few Really Know What You Are.

It Is Often Found That Modesty And Humility Not Only Do No Good, But Are Positively Hurtful, When They Are Shown To The Arrogant Who Have Taken Up A Prejudice Against You, Either From Envy Or From Any Other Cause.

Whoever Is The Cause Of Another Becoming Powerful, Is Ruined Himself.

Never Do Your Enemy A Minor Injury.

Men Are Always Averse To Enterprises In Which They Foresee Difficulties.
