Luxury And Excessive Refinement Are Sure Forerunners

We Are Never So Easily Deceived As When We Imagine We Are Deceiving Others.

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.

The Caprice Of Our Temper Is Even More Whimsical Than That Of Fortune.

Weakness Of Character Is The Only Defect Which Cannot Be Amended.

To Establish Ourselves In The World, We Have To Do All We Can To Appear Established. To Succeed In The World, We Do Everything We Can To Appear Successful.
