We Do Not Like To Praise, And

We Easily Forget Our Faults When No One Knows Them But Ourselves.

We Give Advice, We Do Not Inspire Conduct.

Flattery Is A Counterfeit Money Which, But For Vanity, Would Have No Circulation.

A Readiness To Believe Ill Of Others, Before We Have Duly Examined It, Is The Effect Of Laziness And Pride. We Are Eager To Find Aculprit, And Loath To Give Ourselves The Trouble Of Examining The Crime.

There Are A Great Many Simpletons Who Know Themselves To Be So, And Who Make A Very Cunning Use Of Their Own Simplicity.
