There Is No Flattery So

If We Are Long Absent From Our Friends, We Forget Them; If We Are Constantly With Them, We Despise Them.

The Affected Modesty Of Most Women Is A Decoy For The Generous, The Delicate, And Unsuspecting; While The Artful, The Bold, And Unfeeling Either See Or Break Through Its Slender Disguises.

We Are Fonder Of Visiting Our Friends In Health Than In Sickness. We Judge Less Favorably Of Their Characters When Any Misfortune Happens To Them; And A Lucky Hit, Either In Business Or Reputation, Improves Even Their Personal Appearance In Our Eyes.

Political Truth Is Libel; Religious Truth, Blasphemy.

The Discussing The Characters And Foibles Of Common Friends Is A Great Sweetness And Cement Of Friendship.
