Men Crowd Into Honorable Careers Without Other

The Maxims Of Men Reveal Their Characters.

Men Sometimes Feel Injured By Praise Because It Assigns A Limit To Their Merit; Few People Are Modest Enough Not To Take Offense That One Appreciates Them.

If Virtue Were Its Own Reward, It Would No Longer Be A Human Quality, But Supernatural.

We Should Expect The Best And The Worst From Mankind As From The Weather.

It Is In Our Own Mind And Not In Exterior Objects That We Perceive Most Things; Fools Know Scarcely Anything Because They Are Empty, And Their Heart Is Narrow; But Great Souls Find In Themselves A Number Of Exterior Things; They Have No Need To Read Or Travel Or To Listen Or To Work To Discover The Highest Truths; They Have Only To Delve Into Themselves And Search, If We May Say So, Their Own Thoughts.
