There Are But Very Few

The Happiness And Misery Of Men Depend No Less On Temper Than Fortune.

Men Never Desire Anything Very Eagerly Which They Desire Only By The Dictates Of Reason.

Before We Passionately Desire A Thing, We Should Examine The Happiness Of Its Possessor.

The Moderation Of People In Prosperity Is The Effect Of A Smooth And Composed Temper, Owing To The Calm Of Their Good Fortune.

Some Men Are Like Ballads, That Are In Everyone's Mouth A Little While.
