There Are Few Virtuous Women

The Intention Of Never Deceiving Often Exposes Us To Deception.

It Is A Great Act Of Cleverness To Be Able To Conceal One's Being Clever.

Some Crimes Get Honor And Renown By Being Committed With More Pomp, By A Greater Number, And In A Higher Degree Of Wickedness Thanothers. Hence It Is That Public Robberies, Plunderings, And Sackings Have Been Looked Upon As Excellencies And Noble Achievements, And The Seizing Of Whole Countries, However Unjustly And Barbarously, Is Dignified With The Glorious Name Of Gaining Conquests.

A Wise Man Thinks It More Advantageous Not To Join The Battle Than To Win.

Were We Not Proud Ourselves, We Should Not Complain Of The Pride Of Others.
