The Duration Of Our Passions

There Are No Events So Disastrous That Adroit Men Do Not Draw Some Advantage From Them, Nor Any So Fortunate That The Imprudent Cannot Turn To Their Own Prejudice.

Gratitude, In Most Men, Is Only A Strong And Secret Hope Of Greater Favors.

Nothing Is So Contagious As Example; And We Never Do Any Great Good Or Evil Which Does Not Produce Its Like.

A Man Often Imagines That He Acts, When He Is Acted Upon.

However Rare True Love May Be, It Is Less So Than True Friendship.
