The Surest Proof Of Being

We Had Better Appear What We Are, Than Affect To Appear What We Are Not.

When We Disclaim Praise, It Is Only Showing Our Desire To Be Praised A Second Time.

When Great Men Permit Themselves To Be Cast Down By The Continuance Of Misfortune, They Show Us That They Were Only Sustained By Ambition, And Not By Their Mind; So That Plus A Great Vanity, Heroes Are Made Like Other Men.

There Are Few Good Women Who Do Not Tire Of Their Role.

True Eloquence Consists In Saying All That Should Be Said, And That Only.
