To Know How To Hide

It Is Necessary, In Order To Know Things Well, To Know The Particulars Of Them; And These, Being Infinite, Make Our Knowledge Eversuperficial And Imperfect.

We Often Make Use Of Envenomed Praise, That Reveals On The Rebound, As It Were, Defects In Those Praised Which We Dare Not Exposeany Other Way.

In The Intercourse Of Life, We Please More By Our Faults Than By Our Good Qualities.

To Establish Oneself In The World, One Does All One Can To Seem Established There Already.

There Are Heroes Of Wickedness, As There Are Of Goodness.
