The Existence Of Virtue Depends Entirely Upon

For Nothing Is More Commendable, Nothing More Becoming In A Preeminently Great Man Than Courtesy And Forbearance.

In All Great Arts, As In Trees, It Is The Height That Charms Us; We Care Nothing For The Roots Or Trunks, Yet It Could Not Be Without The Aid Of These.

The Injuries That Befall Us Unexpectedly Are Less Severe Than Those Which Are Deliberately Anticipated.

That Which Is Not Forbidden, Is Not On That Account Permitted.

Every Man Should Bear His Own Grievances Rather Than Detract From The Comforts Of Another.
