We Often Bore Others When

What We Call Generosity Is For The Most Part Only The Vanity Of Giving; And We Exercise It Because We Are More Fond Of That Vanity Than Of The Thing We Give.

A True Friend Is The Greatest Of All Blessings, And That Which We Take The Least Care Of All To Acquire.

We Often Do Shallow Good In Order To Accomplish Evil With Impunity.

Jealousy Contains More Of Self-love Than Of Love.

Of All Our Faults, The One We Avow Most Easily Is Idleness; We Persuade Ourselves That It Is Allied To All The Peaceable Virtues,and As For The Others, That It Does Not Destroy Them Utterly, But Only Suspends The Exercise Of Their Functions.
