However We May Conceal Our Passions Under

Almost Everyone Takes Pleasure In Repaying Trifling Obligations, Very Many Feel Gratitude For Those That Are Moderate; But There Is Scarcely Anyone Who Is Not Ungrateful For Those That Are Weighty.

Opportunity Makes Us Known To Others, But More To Ourselves.

It Is Not Enough That We Should Succeed, But Our Friends Must Fail As Well.

If We Had No Faults, We Would Not Derive So Much Pleasure From Noting Those Of Other People.

Envy Is More Irreconcilable Than Hatred.
